More on Meat Loaf
There may even be receipe on the web for 豆腐渣. How about 豆腐渣 Loaf/Burger.
Following is my last ?loaf for your thoughts. Tasted OK but don't replicate it. Don't screme when u read:
Left over in fridge:
~2 cups left over Chilli Tofu (Ma Poa Tofu) lots of gravy, meshed with fork
~2/3 cup cooked white rice
1 cooked potato, mesh
3 slices fronzen bread, toast + dry, crumble with hand or mesh with bottle
Added:
2/3 cup shredded raw carrots
2/3 cup finely chopped onion (too much onion but I didn't have celery)
2 extra large eggs
2 tbsp. dried Parsley (green, no taste)
2 tsp. Parmesean Cheese (Chinese spices would go well with chilli taste from Tofu too)
~1 lb. lean ground pork
(add oat/bread when it is too wet, add egg/stock/milk when it is too dry)
Mush everything up(left over disappeared), pack into baking dish, microwave for 10 minutes, baked@ 350 for 30 minutes, done! This time 75% mush, 25% meat. Should have added 1 extra egg+2 toasts, but didn't have time. Side of loaf was perfect, middle fell apart as there was too much moisture. Served with butter wax bean+fried mushroom slices, would have been better with butter bruxelle sprout+garlic mushroom. Fresh boiled down tomato would have been nice over meat loaf. Loaf could serve 4-6 person.
As long as it doesn't fall apart when u slice/serve, it's good. Too spicy, use it for sandwich. If u don't like the taste, serve it with Gordon Bleu ? gravy(can) or a quick tomato sauce(can)+dry spice+olive slices, looks great! When in disaster, use curry in loaf or gravy, it cover all taste.
Most of the time, I use 50% vegetable + 50% meat (by volume) in my meat loaf, increase egg/bread (binding function) if necessary. When I use oatmeal instead of breadcrumbs, I add lemon/tomato paste/ketchup/mayonnaise/mustard to cut the gummy and gluey taste of oat. Once I forgot that the meat was regular and my oatmeal soaked up all the fat, awful! Moist your grain/bread with egg/milk/stock/water before adding meat and bake on baking dish so that excess fat can be drained. Add Wheat Germ when u think u are depressed (vitamin B12?, I may be wrong on this one). Still too awful, mesh it up again and hide everything in spegetti sauce!
Left over meatloaf? If u think the taste is beefy -> mesh it up, fry with onion+mushroom, add Gordon Bleu ? gravy + sour cream, serve with rice/egg noodle, quite good. There is nothing more fun than cooking!
