Korean Meatloaf

Some time ago, I came across an article which talked about the school lunches at some of NYC's private schools.  The things they were being served were not in line with how I remember school lunches being where I grew up.  (Granted, I went through a french-fries-and-donuts phase in junior high, so I may not be too authoritative on this subject).  However, when I saw that the chef from one of those school's publishes some of his recipes online, I had to check it out.  (Gotta keep up with the Jones' right?)  We're not a big meatloaf family--in fact, I like this recipe better as meat balls--but we loved this one.  And I feel totally justified in being a little bit snooty when serving it.
