Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Place chopped carrot and capsicum in a food processor. Blend until very finely chopped.
2 Place vegetable mixture, mince, spring onions, five spice, egg, coriander, breadcrumbs and sauces in a large bowl. Season with black pepper. Mix until well combined.
3 Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Shape mixture into a 10cm x 20cm loaf by hand and place on prepared tray. Bake for 25 minutes then carefully drain any excess fat or liquid from tray. Spoon 1 tablespoon extra plum sauce over meat loaf. Bake for another 10-15 minutes or until meat loaf is firm to the touch and glazed on top. (Juices should run clear when tested with a skewer.)
4 Remove meat loaf from oven and leave to rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix salad greens with cucumber and tomatoes.
5 Slice meat loaf. Drizzle slices with remaining extra plum sauce and serve with salad.
