- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions
- 1
Spread the drained black beans in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Pat them dry with paper towels, then let them air-dry at room temperature for 15 minutes — the drier the beans, the better the patties will hold together and crust.
- 2
Transfer the dried beans to a large mixing bowl. Use a potato masher or fork to mash them until roughly three-quarters of the beans are broken down into a thick paste, with some whole beans remaining for texture.
