Moist and flavorful Asian Style Meatloaf flavored with hoisin and soy sauce. Delicious served with rice for a truly Asian taste.
Meatloaf is considered by many as a comfort food associated with childhood. It is a very homey and easy dish to prepare especially with ground meat from the grocery store. Just mix in breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings, pop it into a loaf pan, and bake for an hour. Steam or roast some vegetables for a side and dinner is served.
Growing up in Malaysia, meatloaf was unheard of. We had many minced meat dishes like steamed pork and meatballs but never meatloaf. When I moved here, I was curious and had to check it out. Outside of home, meatloaf can be found at home or cafeteria style restaurants. I tried it and enjoyed it very much. So did my boys. To date, I have tried several versions and even posted an Eggless Meatloaf three years back.
Today, I am excited to share with you this delicious Asian Style Meatloaf, adapted from Allrecipes.com. This version calls for a mix of ground beef and pork. It uses hoisin sauce, soy sauce, minced ginger, and tomato ketchup for the seasoning. I added some garlic and swapped out the celery for green onions.
I really like the hoisin sauce and tomato ketchup seasoning and glaze. I added half of the mixture into the meatloaf to give it a little more flavor. The meatloaf was moist and quite delicious with rice. I will definitely be making this again.

This sounds so delicious! I love the idea of the Asian flavors added to a meatloaf. Pinning this!
Welcome Kris and thanks for pinning! Glad you like the meatloaf. 🙂
Meatloaf is indeed comfort food. I re-posted my version of Asian style meatloaf this week too… great minds think a like. 🙂
Yes, it is! I actually like this version with the hoisin sauce better. It’s so tasty. 🙂
This looks beautiful and delicious! I love meatloaf too although I try not to cook beef at home..I’ll have to substitute or use all pork.
I think using all pork would work. Do let me know how it turned out.
Biren, can I substitute chicken meat for the pork? I am wondering if it’s okay or not?
The recipe doesn’t say what to add the cooked onions, garlic and ginger to. I assume it was the meat. I forgot to buy ginger but added ground ginger. It’s in the oven, I’ll let you know if it works.
Thanks for pointing that out, Maureen. I have added that omission to instruction number 3. I hope you enjoyed the meatloaf. 🙂
