This was very good and a hit because we love "Asian" flavors

The recipe is obviously a joke based on the tradition of Jews having Chinese food on Xmas LOL

Jewish x-mas Loaf

Excerpt From: Frank Bruni - A Meatloaf in Every Oven

Loaf

2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 large shallots, finely chopped
2 pounds ground beef
1⅓ cups quick-cooking oats
2 eggs, lightly whisked
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
2 teaspoons five-spice powder
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
½ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
½ cup spicy Asian garlic sauce

GLAZE

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons spicy Asian garlic sauce
6 tablespoons ketchup

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet or a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

2. Warm the sesame oil in a medium-sized skillet over low heat. Add the shallots and sauté until they are soft, about 10 minutes. Let the shallots cool a bit.

3. In a large bowl, combine all the remaining loaf ingredients with the shallots and their oil. Mix thoroughly with your clean hands.

4. Pull off some of the meatloaf batter and create a tiny slider-sized burger; cook it in the still-slick skillet for a few minutes, until cooked through. Taste, and adjust the seasonings in accordance with your preferences.

5. On the prepared baking sheet or baking dish, form the mixture into a loaf with a uniform width from end to end.

6. To make the glaze, stir the soy sauce, garlic sauce and ketchup together in a small bowl. Slather the glaze over the top of the loaf, letting some drip off the sides.

7. Bake for about 1 hour 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the meatloaf rest, uncovered, for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Spoon any sauce that has gathered around the loaf generously over the slices.
