Miniature Asian Meat Loaves
 
Ingredients
  • 1½ pounds of ground beef ( I used 80/20 because you need some fat to keep it juicy)
  • 1 cup corn flake crumbs of (corn flakes crushed)
  • 1 cup crushed tortilla chips or tortilla crumbs
  • (seasoning for crumbs- ½ tsp of the following: thyme, garlic, cajun seasoning, ginger and chili powder)
  • 3 TBSP buttermilk
  • 1 tsp salt and pepper each
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Chinese five spice
  • ½ onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • ½ cup chopped green onions
  • 2 TBSP soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sriracha sauce (optional)
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 2 TBSP butter
  • The Glaze:
  • ½ cup hoisin sauce
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 1 TBSP fish sauce
  • ½ cup unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 1-inch piece ginger, peeled, minced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
Instructions
  1. Melt the butter in a heavy cast iron skillet. Saute the onions, bell peppers and garlic until soft and tender. Remove from the pan and pat to take away some of the excess moisture. Combine the meat with the veggies and remaining ingredients, leaving the eggs and buttermilk until last. Mix well and either form into a mound on a foiled lined baking sheet or place into a mini bar pan or a 12 count miniature loaf pan. Slather with half of the glaze and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Remove and spread remaining glaze on top- bake for another 15 minutes until slightly crispy on top.
  2. For the Glaze:
  3. Stir together all ingredients in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes until reduced by half and thick.
