Production steps
1. Preheat the grill and prepare tin foil
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and take four sheets of thick tin foil that are enough to wrap the ingredients.
2. Divide the ingredients
Place 8 meatballs in the center of each sheet of tin foil and evenly cover with pineapple chunks, red and orange bell peppers, and red onions.
3. Pour in teriyaki sauce
Pour about 1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce into each packet and mix gently to coat the meatballs and vegetables evenly with the sauce.
4. Wrap and seal
Close the two long sides of the tin foil tightly to seal, and then fold the short sides to ensure that there are no gaps to prevent the juice from leaking out.
5. Bake
Place the tin foil package on the grill and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the meatballs are thoroughly heated and the vegetables are tender.
6. Remove from the oven and serve
Carefully unwrap the tin foil package, sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and serve with rice.
