Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Sauté onions in vegetable oil until translucent, about 10 minutes; add garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Allow to cool.
  3. Combine the cooled onion mixture, green onions, gochujang, beaten eggs, and kosher salt in a bowl.
  4. Mix the ground pork and panko in a large bowl. Gently fold in the onion mixture until evenly blended.
  5. Shape the mixture into a loaf and transfer it to a loaf pan or shape freehand on a baking tray. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 140°F, about 40 minutes.
  6. Prepare the glaze by combining all glaze ingredients in a separate bowl.
  7. Spread the glaze evenly over the meatloaf, then return to the oven until it reaches 160°F, about 10-15 more minutes.
  8. Allow the meatloaf to rest before slicing, letting juices redistribute.
  9. Optional: Garnish with sesame seeds.
