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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a muffin tin lightly with vegetable oil.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaves reaches 74°C (165°F).

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Add honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and water to the saucepan. Bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the meatloaves from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before removing them from the tin.

Step 9

Drizzle the warm honey garlic sauce over the mini meatloaves before serving, or serve the sauce on the side as a dipping option.

Step 10

Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired, and enjoy!
