Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make Glaze:
Bring vinegar, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili-garlic paste, garlic and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Once liquid comes to a boil, decrease heat to low and simmer until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, Make Meatloaf:
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well but lightly, using your hands or a fork.
Divide meat mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each into a small loaf. Place on prepared baking sheet. Use a spoon to make a small indentation in top of each loaf. Spoon a tablespoon of glaze over each loaf. Reserve remaining glaze for later use.
Place meatloaves in oven. Bake, using a meat thermometer to monitor temperature, until internal temperature reaches 155-160 degrees, 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and spread another spoonful of glaze over each loaf. Set aside five minutes, then transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and herbs. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
