Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 100 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 60 ml Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a muffin tin lightly with vegetable oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, panko breadcrumbs, egg, 1 minced garlic clove, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, finely chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper.
Divide the mixture evenly into the greased muffin tins to create mini meatloaves. Press the mixture firmly into each cup to ensure they hold their shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaves reaches 74°C (165°F).
While the meatloaves are baking, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and water to the saucepan. Bring it to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the sauce until it thickens slightly.
Remove the meatloaves from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before removing them from the tin.
Drizzle the warm honey garlic sauce over the mini meatloaves before serving, or serve the sauce on the side as a dipping option.
Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired, and enjoy!
