Steps

  1. Make the quick pickles first: stir the cider vinegar, sugar and salt in a bowl until dissolved, add the cucumber and dill, and set aside for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Press the tofu between towels for 10 minutes, then crumble it into a large bowl.
  3. Pulse or mash the edamame until coarsely chopped, then add it to the tofu.
  4. Add the breadcrumbs, egg, green onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce and black pepper to the tofu mixture and mix until it holds together when squeezed.
  5. Shape the mixture into 4 patties about 3/4 inch thick.
  6. Heat half the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the patties and cook 5 to 6 minutes until deeply golden.
  7. Add the remaining half of the canola oil around the patties, flip them and cook 5 to 6 minutes more until golden and the center reaches 160°F (71°C).
  8. Toast the whole-wheat bread (2 slices per burger) in the skillet or a toaster.
  9. Spread the mustard on the toast, add the romaine leaves and a patty, then top with the drained quick pickles and close the burgers.
