Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F. Line a 23×13cm (9×5 inch) loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly oil.
- Whisk all glaze ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth.
- Combine the panko and milk in a large mixing bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes until the panko absorbs the milk.

- Remove from the oven, glaze the top and sides with half of the gochujang glaze, and return to bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until internal temperature reaches 73°C / 165°F.
- Increase oven temperature to 230°C / 450°F, glaze the meatloaf with the remaining glaze, and broil for 3-5 minutes until bubbling and charred.
- Rest for 10 minutes before lifting out, slicing, and serving with sesame seeds, green onion, steamed rice, and kimchi.
