Description

A fusion twist on the classic meatloaf, this Gochujang Meatloaf is packed with bold flavors from the Korean chili paste. The spicy and sweet glaze takes this comfort food favorite to a whole new level.


Ingredients

For the Meatloaf:

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Gochujang
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan.
  2. Mix the meatloaf: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, garlic, egg, Gochujang, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Shape the meatloaf: Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it in the prepared loaf pan.
  4. Make the glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, Gochujang, honey, and rice vinegar. Brush half of the glaze over the meatloaf.
  5. Bake: Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until cooked through.
  6. Glaze again: Brush the remaining glaze over the meatloaf and broil for a few minutes until caramelized.
  7. Rest and serve: Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy!
