Ingredients
Units
Scale
-
2 pounds ground pork (see note below for substitutions)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- small bunch green onions, chopped, white and green parts separated
- 1/3 cup unseasoned regular or gluten-free panko breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons fresh grated ginger
For the Spicy Glaze:
- 1 tablespoons coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons sambal oelek
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 F.
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), sambal oelek and hoisin sauce to make the spicy glaze. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the pork, breadcrumbs, egg, and garlic and ginger. Season with salt and pepper. Using your hands (preferable) or a spoon, gently mix to combine.
- Transfer the meat mixture to a foil or parchment paper lined baking sheet. Shape the mixture into two tightly-packed loaves, about 7 inches by 2 inches.
- Evenly top each loaf with 1/4 of the glaze. Bake the meatloaf 20 – 25 minutes or until the meatloaf is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer should register 160°F). Remove from the oven and let rest at least 2 minutes before cutting.
- Top the cooked meatloaf with the remaining glaze. Garnish with the sliced green tops of the scallions. Enjoy!
Notes
If you don’t eat or like pork, feel free to substitute ground beef, ground turkey or ground chicken thighs.
You could also shape the mixture into individual meatballs and bake them.
