Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
To a small sauce pan, combine the soy sauce, water, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic and cornstarch.
Heat over medium heat stirring continuously until the cornstarch dissolves and thickens up the sauce. Then remove from heat and set aside.
To a large bowl combine the ground meat, egg, panko breadcrumbs, green onions, and 2 tablespoons of the homemade teriyaki sauce.
Mix the meatball mixture together until just combined (too much mixing will make tough meatballs).
Roll out 21 small meatballs, adding to the prepared baking sheet as you work.
Bake the meatballs in the hot oven for 25 minutes, until cooked through and browned. Then move the baking sheet to a spot to cool while you addable your meal prep lunches.
Make the Rice:
While the meatballs cook, make the rice.
In a small pot, or rice cooker, add rice and water.
Bring to a boil on high heat. Lower heat to low, cover and cook until the water soaks into the rice, about 30 minutes. (Or follow rice cooker directions)
Remove the pot from the heat and add the rice to a medium bowl, and set aside to cool.
Put Meal Prep Lunches Together:
Lay your meal prep containers out in a line.
Divide the meatballs into each container, then spoon over teriyaki sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Next, divide the broccoli between the containers (it may remain raw as re-heating the meal prep containers will steam it!)
Finally, divide the rice between the meal prep containers, and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
