Chinese meatloaf, also known as rou jia mo, is a steamed bun filled with tender, flavorful meat. This dish is a popular street food in China and is often served with hoisin sauce, pickled vegetables, and cilantro. The key to a great Chinese meatloaf is to use a variety of spices and aromatics in the meat filling. Common ingredients include ginger, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, and Chinese five-spice powder. The meat is then steamed until cooked through, resulting in a juicy and flavorful filling. The buns are typically soft and fluffy, providing a perfect contrast to the savory meat.

This is the most moist, fabulous tasting meatloaf--everyone loves it! The Hoisin sauce is available in the Oriental Food Section of the grocery store... it is like cross between soy and ketchup, and makes a wonderful glaze for this moist meatloaf. We love this dish. Very moist. Serve with rice and steamed broccoli. A wonderful dinner. Leftovers make great sandwiches.
