• Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C) for conventional oven. If you use a convection oven, lower the temperature by 20 F (15 C). Position the oven rack in the middle of the oven. We will bake the meatloaf using a water bath method.
• Grease a 8 x 8 inch glass or ceramic or something similar in size. Slightly smaller or bigger is fine. The thickness of the meatloaf may just differ slightly. Then you also need another bigger pan for the water bath. Get some hot water ready

Prepare the meatloaf:

• Soak the dried mungbean thread noodles in water until soft. In a separate bowl, soak the dried wood ear mushrooms in warm water until they plump up. Once the noodles have softened, cut them into smaller pieces. Dice the mushrooms into small pieces
• Combine the pork, shrimp, onion, garlic, noodles, mushrooms, fish sauce, oyster sauce, ground black pepper, five whole eggs, and two egg whites
  
• Mix until they are all well-combined
  
• Transfer the pork mixture into the prepared pan. Smooth out the top with a spatula or the back of the spoon.
  
• Place this inside a large baking dish/pan. Fill it up with hot water, coming about halfway up the pan
  

Baking:

• Carefully transfer this to the oven and place it on the middle rack. Let it bake for 40- 45 minutes. Start checking at the 40-minute mark.
  
• The surface should be firm to the touch and if you insert a toothpick onto the center, it shouldn't be wet or liquid oozing out and if it is, let it bake another 5 minutes and check again
  
• Beat the two reserved egg yolks with a fork. If there are some egg white bits (from separating the whites from the yolks), try to remove them by straining the yolks through a strainer, otherwise, the egg whites will show when you brush it on top of the meatloaf (not that it's a big deal, but you know what I mean!)
  
• Then remove from the oven and brush on the egg yolks on the surface of the meatloaf.
  
• You will use up all the egg yolks
  
• Lower the temperature to 350 F (180 C) for a conventional oven. If you use a convection oven, lower the temperature by 20 F (15 C). Bake for another 5 minutes

Cool down:

• Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf cool down completely on a cooling rack before slicing
  

To serve:

• Cut into desired sizes and shape and serve with rice or noodles.
