Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef, 85% lean
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, divided
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, divided
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
  • 1¾ cups water
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the pellet smoker to 250°F. Use a mild wood such as apple or cherry for a gentle smoke that lets the gochujang glaze stand out.
  • In a small bowl, combine the panko and milk. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes, until the breadcrumbs soften.
  • Add the ground beef, egg, scallion whites, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, ginger, and garlic to the bowl. Add the softened panko mixture. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.
  • Shape the mixture into a compact loaf and place it in a shallow, lightly oiled foil pan. Set the pan on the smoker grates and smoke until the center reaches 150°F, about 1½ to 2 hours.
  • While the meatloaf smokes, stir together the gochujang, honey, rice vinegar, and remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Once the meatloaf reaches 150°F, brush the glaze over the top. Continue smoking until the center reaches 160°F.
  • Rinse the jasmine rice until the water runs mostly clear. Combine it in a saucepan with the water and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork. Stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil and the scallion greens. Rest the meatloaf for 10 minutes, then slice and serve over the scallion rice.

merknader

Keep the meat mixture loose rather than packing it firmly so the slices stay tender. If the glaze darkens quickly near the end, loosely tent the pan with foil while the meatloaf finishes smoking. Leftover slices reheat well covered in a low oven, served with freshly fluffed scallion rice.
