1 ½cupswarm (not hot) cooked ricebrown or white rice
4large eggs
3tablespoonslow-sodium soy sauceor coconut liquid aminos or tamari if gluten-free
2tablespoonsrice wine vinegar
1teaspoonground ginger powder
1teaspoonground garlic powder
¼cupfinely minced onion
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F and spray an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the ground beef, ½ cup teriyaki sauce, rice, eggs, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger powder, garlic powder, and minced onion to a large mixing bowl. Combine with your bare hands or a rubber scraper until well combined. The mixture can take a bit of time and elbow grease, so keep stirring or massaging it with your hands until the liquids have been absorbed and the rice is distributed evenly throughout the beef.
Transfer the meatloaf mixture to the prepared baking pan. Lightly pat or spread the top until even.
Bake the meatloaf for 45-55 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers a temperature of 155-160°F.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest on a wire cooling rack for 5 minutes.
Spread the remaining ¼ cup teriyaki sauce over the meatloaf. Slice it and serve hot!
