Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, beaten eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, chopped onion, thyme, and rosemary. Mix until well combined.
2
Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan and shape it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 90 minutes or until cooked through and browned on the top.
3
Once fully cooked, remove the meatloaf from the pan and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes. Slice the meatloaf into narrow portions for the next steps.
4
In a shallow bowl, place the flour. In another bowl, whisk together the remaining eggs, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and sliced ginger until smooth.
5
Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high to high heat. Dip each slice of the meatloaf first into the flour, coating it on all sides, then into the egg mixture, and finally, gently place it in the hot oil.
6
Fry the meatloaf slices until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
7
Serve warm, either as a standalone dish or within a sandwich with your favorite condiments like mayonnaise. Enjoy the fusion of Hawaiian and Korean flavors in every bite!
