If you like potstickers you are going to love this meatloaf! All the yummy asian flavors of the inside of a chicken potsticker, without the wrapper! The kicker is the chopped water chestnuts that add a fabulous crunch!
I kept the ingredients simple. No need to run to the store to get a plethora of asian ingredients you are only going to need once.
The glaze is a mixture of ketchup, bbq, soy sauce and few other things you probably have in your cupboard. Keeping it easy for ya!
And let me tell ya, if you think taking pics of meatloaf is easy…then you have never taken pics of meatloaf!
This recipe was one of my first posts about 6 years ago. My family actually ate most of it before I remembered I needed to take some photos. The pictures are horrible, I mean really horrible, but I keep it on the blog. Because believe it or not…some people actually still make it! You can see that post here: Asian Style Meatloaf. But here is a snippet of the picture…I know, I know, I know…ugh.
Well enjoyed that walk down memory lane…not! The only thing that gives me comfort is to know that this is a super flavorful recipe, especially when you are tired of regular old meatloaf!
To improvements!
Clink!

Hi Jamie – no, either one or the other. I’ll clarify the recipe…sorry!
This was really good! It does taste l.ike the inside of a potsticker.
I am so glad you liked it Jamie! Thanks for the note!
Made this on the weekend and subbed in gluten-free panko crumbs. Love the crunch from the water chestnuts! So tasty!
I am so excited you made one of my recipes! Thank you Elaine and I am glad you liked it!
Is there anything better than meatloaf? I love this flavorful spin on the classic and I know it would be a hit in my house!
This is something we would love! Love the water chestnuts in it.
Mmmm. This looks good, I love this spin on meatloaf! Must try!
An Asian twist on meatloaf? That’s really a unique meal! I’m not big on meatloaves in general, but I know a lot of people are! Great idea!
It’s nice that you are re-sharing this recipe. I mean as food bloggers we evolve and at that time, as a beginnger, it was difficult to show how tasty a dish is. At least that’s how I feel. 🙂 Right now I am craving your meatloaf and I love all the ingredients involved!
Thank you Helene! Some of my older recipes are the ones I wanted to share the most when I first stated blogging…it’s been fun re-blogging them!
This was delicious! I second that it tastes like a potsticker. Easy to make too.
I’m so glad you liked it Anne! Thank you for the nice note!
