Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables have softened and the onion turns translucent. Mix in the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute. Season the vegetables with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Transfer the vegetables into a large bowl to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a baking sheet with foil. When the vegetables have slightly cooled, add the ground beef, panko, beef stock, egg, and soy sauce. Season with about a ½ teaspoon of kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Mix everything together until fully combined.
  • Transfer the meatloaf mixture onto the baking sheet and form it into a 9.5 x 4.5 inch loaf shape. Bake it in the oven for about 50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165℉.

For the Gochujang Glaze:

  • Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until well combined. After 50 minutes of baking, remove the meatloaf from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to broil. Spread the glaze on top of the meatloaf until evenly coated. Broil the meatloaf for 3-4 minutes until the edges brown and the glaze caramelizes on top.
  • Remove the meatloaf from the oven and allow it cool for about 8-10 minutes. Garnish with the green parts of the green onion, Slice and enjoy!
