Continue to cook for 7-9 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

• In a bowl, mash black beans. Then add in cooled walnut mixture, the breadcrumbs, white miso paste, and the egg substitute. Mix well to combine and chill the burger mixture for 20 minutes to an hour.
