Hoisin Glazed Meatloaf With Crispy Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7, then peel and finely dice your shallot[s] and peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and grate your ginger, then cut your red chilli[es] in half lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop finely

Add your mince (remove the paper if required!) to a bowl with the diced shallot, panko breadcrumbs and half the chopped garlic

Add your ground coriander, half the chopped chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and half the grated ginger (you'll use the rest later!) with a drizzle of olive oil and a generous pinch of salt

Using clean hands, knead the mince mixture thoroughly until fully combined, then add it to one side of a tin foil-lined baking tray (or two!) and shape into a loaf[ves]

Chop your potatoes into bite-sized pieces

Add the chopped potatoes to the other side of the tray[s]

Add a drizzle of olive oil to the potatoes and a pinch of salt and a good grind of pepper and give them a good mix up

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 35-40 min or until the meatloaf[ves] is cooked through (no pink meat!) and the potatoes are crispy

Meanwhile, combine your hoisin sauce and Chinese rice wine in a small bowl – this is your hoisin glaze

Once the meatloaf[ves] is cooked through, pour half the hoisin glaze over the top (save the rest for later!) and sprinkle over your toasted sesame seeds

Return the tray[s] to the oven for a final 5 min or until golden and sticky – this is your hoisin glazed meatloaf

While everything's in the oven, wash your pak choi, then pat it dry with kitchen paper

Cut the roots off the pak choi and discard, then chop the white base into bite-sized pieces (keep the leaves whole!)

Peel your carrot[s], then continue to peel lengths until you end up with a pile of carrot ribbons

Once everything is almost done, heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the chopped pak choi base, pak choi leaves, carrot ribbons and your soy sauce to the pan with the remaining chopped garlic, grated ginger and remaining chopped chilli (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!) and cook for 2 min – this is your stir-fried veg

Add the remaining hoisin glaze to a pot with 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] water and gently heat to warm through (alternatively, pop the gravy in the microwave for 1 min to warm through!) – this is your hoisin gravy
