Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 2 tablespoons each, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cooking
  1. Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked and browned.
  2. While the meatballs bake, cook your rice according to package directions and prepare vegetables by steaming or sautéing.
Assembly

  2. Drizzle with remaining sauce from the baking sheet for extra flavor.
  3. Garnish with extra green onions or sesame seeds and serve.

Notes

Substitutions for ground beef include ground chicken or lamb. Ensure uniform meatball size for even cooking, and avoid overmixing the ingredients to prevent a dense texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for longer storage.
