Asian Meatloaf and Ramen Stir-Fry

This recipe came to me as I was driving home from work.  I bought ground pork but didn't have any ideas of how to use it.  I didn't have too much in the house so I figured I'd make a meatloaf...but didn't really want the traditional kind.  I decided to do an Asian twist. 

I'm approximating amounts here because I tend to do meatloaves by look...sorry!

• 1lb ground pork (could use beef or turkey)
• 2 handfuls breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 2-3 green onions, chopped small or 1/4 cup cilantro-roughly chopped
• 4 heaping Tbls hoisin sauce
• 1/2 Tbls sesame oil

1. Mix all of the ingredients (ecept 1 Tbl hoisin)
2. Form into loaf and put on a baking sheet, or in a loaf pan
3. Spread remaining hoisin sauce on top
4. Bake at 350 for 45 min-1 hr

Ramen Stir-Fry

• 2 packages Ramen noodles (chicken or oriental flavor)
• Few drops sesame oil
• 1 Tbls hoisin sauce
• Chopped veggies (I used up what was left in my fridge-baby carrots, few stalks celery, string beans)

1. Boil noodles as directed in large saucepan, drain and set aside
2. In same pan, saute veggies in a few drops of sesame oil until crisp-tender
3. Add back noodles and seasoning packets, stir
4. Cook and stir for a few minutes letting a slight crust form on the noodles.
5. Add hoisin sauce, mix and serve
