Make this moist, flavourful 5-spice meatloaf for an easy and budget-friendly meal that will feed a crowd. It's great hot or cold and perfect for dinner, picnic or in lunchbox. Replace beef with lean turkey or chicken mince for a lower fat and protein-packed meal that whole family would love.

  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 Yellow onions, sliced
  • 2 Shallots, finely chopped
  • 2 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 4-5 tbsp Fresh breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp Fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp 5 Spice blend
  • 1 Egg
  • 150 g Tofu, crumbled
  • 500 g Minced beef
  • 250 ml Hot beef broth
  1. Grease a standard-size casserole dish with 1 tsp of olive oil. Spread the sliced onions into the pan. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F.
  2. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium- high heat. Add chopped shallots and minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots are softened and it smells aromatic, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and cool to the room-temperature.
  3. Add in salt, breadcrumbs, chopped thyme, 5 spice blend, egg, crumbled tofu and the minced beef. Mix until thoroughly combined. Pat the mixture into a log that fits your casserole dish. Place the log on the top of sliced onions. Brush the top with the remaining olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes.
  4. Gently pour the beef broth over and around the meatloaf. Continue to bake for another 30-35 minutes or until the top is browned and meatloaf is cooked through.
  5. Remove it from the oven and let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving. You can thickend the broth and juice from the casserole dish with some cornstarch solution and serve it as the sauce.

Angie, what a unique meatloaf. LOVE the seasonings! It's so rare (for me, anyway) to see tofu in the same recipe with meat. So interesting. Looking forward to trying this. :-) ~Valentina

I first used 5-spice powder decades ago to make '5-spice chicken.' It gives a nice Asian flavor to food- adding the tofu to your meat loaf also adds a nice touch!

I so rarely make meatloaf for some reason. Really like the use of 5-spice powder to season it. And the tofu is a nice touch. Thanks!

Such a great comfort food! My favorite thing about meatloaf is making sandwiches with the leftovers.

I’ve never been a meatloaf fan because in North America most recipes add ketchup! I don’t love the sickly sweet flavour of ketchup, doesn’t even taste like tomatoes! Loving the addition of tofu and five Chinese spices! I recently made pulled pork with five Chinese spice and it was awesome.

The meatloaf must be really tender & flavourful after baking in the oven.
