Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 Tbsp of the miso and the mayonnaise. Set aside.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, remaining miso, cilantro, olive oil, garlic powder, five-spice powder, salt, pepper, and lemon zest.
Pulse until coarsely chopped, but not pureed.
form the mixture into 8 patties about 3 inthes around and about 1 1/2 inches thick. As youare forming the patties, use your fingers to firmly pack them.
Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. One at a time, set each patty in the bowl and pat breadcrumbs onto all sides of it.
In a large skillet over medium-high, heat 1 Tbsp sesame oil. Add the patties and cook until browned and heated through, about 3 - 4 minutes per side. If the patties start to stick, add another Tbsp of oil when flipping.
serve the burgers on buns topped with miso-mayo, lettuce, and tomato.
