Steps

  1. Press the tofu between towels under a heavy pan for 15 minutes, then pat it dry.
  2. Heat half of the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the mushrooms for 5 to 6 minutes until their liquid evaporates; add the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, then transfer to a large bowl and let cool slightly. Wipe out the skillet.
  3. Crumble the tofu into the bowl. Pulse or mash the edamame roughly and add it along with the green onion, breadcrumbs, egg, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil and black pepper; mix well and mash until the mixture holds together.
  4. Shape the mixture into 4 patties about 3/4 inch thick and press the sesame seeds onto both sides.
  5. Heat the remaining half of the canola oil in the skillet over medium heat and cook the patties 5 to 6 minutes per side until deeply golden and the center reaches 160°F (71°C).
  6. Meanwhile, stir the Greek yogurt with the lime juice to make a tangy sauce.
  7. Layer two or three romaine leaves per serving, add a patty, top with the avocado, tomato and a spoonful of the lime yogurt sauce, and wrap to eat.
