Japanese-Style Meatloaf

Directions

Ingredients :

1 teaspoon corn oil

or to taste

1 teaspoon sesame oil

or to taste

2 carrots

finely chopped

1 green bell pepper

finely chopped

1 small onion

finely chopped

¼ cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon sake (rice wine)

1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese sweet wine)

2 teaspoons white sugar

1 teaspoon fish soup stock (such as HonDashi®)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon ground ginger

1 pound ground turkey

1 pound ground pork

2 eggs

beaten

1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs

Methods :

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Heat corn oil and sesame oil in a large skillet. Add carrots, green bell pepper, and onion; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, and fish soup stock. Mix in garlic and ginger. Let cool, 5 to 10 minutes.

Mix turkey, pork, and eggs together in a large bowl until blended. Stir in cooled carrot mixture and bread crumbs until well combined. Press evenly into a loaf pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 30 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C); continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 30 minutes more.

Let stand before serving, about 5 minutes.
