Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork or beef
- 1 cup Cooked white or brown rice
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 2 stalks Celery, finely chopped
- 1 Carrot, shredded
- 1 cup Bean sprouts
- 2 Eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with vegetable oil and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked meat, cooked rice, minced garlic, grated ginger, diced onion, chopped celery, shredded carrot, and bean sprouts.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, beaten eggs, cornstarch, black pepper, and salt. Pour this mixture over the ingredients in the mixing bowl and mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to ensure it is evenly packed.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf is set in the center.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the loaf rest for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife along the edges to loosen it, then invert the loaf onto a serving platter.
Slice the Chop Suey Loaf and serve warm as a main dish, paired with steamed vegetables or a light salad if desired.
