OH WOW! The meatless meatloaf came out really good; it looked and smelled really delicious and tasty. This vegan meatloaf version is comparable to our Steamed Egg Meatloaf (which is non-vegetarian). In this recipe, we only used firm tofu and various types of vegetables; we consider this dish the healthiest vegan food since we did not add any sugar in the loaf so it has the natural sweetness from the veggies.

Ingredients

Glaze

1 tsp. annatto oil
1 1/2 tsp. water
1 tsp. cornstarch

Meatloaf

1/2 tsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. crispy fried onions (or fried shallots)
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. seasoning (mushroom seasoning)
1 tsp. fermented bean curd
2 green onions
1 1/2 oz. carrots
1 3/4 oz. glass noodles
1/4 oz. black fungus
16 oz. firm tofu

Method

01

In a small bowl, whisk together all the "Glaze Ingredients" until smooth. Set aside.
02

Cut black fungus and carrot into thin strips. Cut noodles into 1-inch portions. Cut green onions (or leek) into thin slices.
03

Mash firm tofu until smooth in a big bowl. Add black fungus, carrot, noodles, green onion and the rest of "Meatloaf Ingredients" into the tofu bowl. Mix until combined.
04

Pour the mixture into a greased container or a bowl. Use a spoon to press the mixture down tightly.
05
