Serve with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables, and finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and fresh cilantro for a beautifully balanced and visually stunning dish.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, panko breadcrumbs, egg, chopped green onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands or a spatula until well incorporated, being careful not to overmix so the meatloaves stay tender.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a mini loaf (approximately 3 inches long and 1.5 inches high). Place the mini meatloaves on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and ketchup to make the glaze.
Brush the glaze generously over the tops of the mini meatloaves.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaves reaches 160°F (71°C).
Optional: During the last 2 minutes of baking, brush additional teriyaki glaze over the meatloaves for extra flavor and shine.
Remove the meatloaves from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish the mini meatloaves with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro or parsley before serving. Pair with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
