Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a loaf pan.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, egg, and panko breadcrumbs.
  • Shape the Meatloaf:
    Mix everything together until well combined. Shape the mixture into a loaf and transfer it to the prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake:
    Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the meatloaf is fully cooked through and browned on top.
  • Glaze:
    In the last 10 minutes of baking, brush a little extra gochujang and honey over the meatloaf for a sweet and spicy glaze.

    Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
