A delightful and easy-to-make dish featuring flavorful meatballs and vibrant vegetables cooked together in foil packets.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, garlic powder, and black pepper to create the sauce.
Mix thoroughly to combine all the flavors evenly.
In another bowl, combine the egg, evaporated milk, and bread crumbs. Add the ground beef and mix until just combined. Form into 1-inch meatballs.
Avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender.
Cut the zucchini, red bell pepper, and onion into bite-sized pieces. Divide the vegetables and corn evenly among four pieces of foil.
Cut vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking.
Place the meatballs on top of the vegetables in each foil piece. Drizzle the sauce evenly over each portion.
Ensure the foil is sealed tightly to prevent leaks.
Seal the foil packets by folding the edges together. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
Check one packet to ensure the meatballs are fully cooked.
Serve each packet over a portion of cooked rice. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
Open the packets carefully to avoid steam burns.
