My daughter recently introduced me to Chinese food. Yes that is right until the other day I had never been inside a chinese restraunt or ate real chinese food. Now while skimming through a cookbook I found this recipe for Chinese Meat Loaf. While we ate a chicken dish at the restaurant I thought I would share this recipe.
