What to eat with rice balls?!
I love making and eating rice balls, its probably my fav lunch, though im stuck for meal ideas, eating the riceballs on their own doesnt seem to be giving me all the goodness i need =D
I want to be able to make things that i can eat at room temperature like the rice balls, if anyone has any links to places i can get recipes from that would be great!.
Please keep in mind that i am vegiterian so any foods other than meat would be great!.
Any help would be great!Www@FoodAQ@Com

When you mention rice balls, what comes to mind is Italian Arancini - served as an appetizer!. I would be happy to share the recipe - which does not include brown rice!. If you want to turn it into a meal & are vegetarian, want room temp dishes - I would serve it with a salad of choice!. Strawberry & spinach salad is one idea!. If the rice balls are a Japanese recipe, I would opt for a Bento (box) & serve with sushi:

Thanks ano for coming in behind me & copying/pasting a recipe for Arancini :-) The Poster asked for serving suggestions!. Please read the question!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I like Anne's answer!.!.!.
I couldn't picture the Asian rice balls either!.!.!.!.
I think the salad idea would be a great idea!.!.!. I've seen some salads made of grilled vegetables like eggplant, zucchini, yellow or red peppers and maybe some orzo pasta!.!.!. with a little lemon juice and olive oil!.!.!. You also need to get protein so try adding some feta cheese to that or pine nuts (which can have up to 14 grams of protein)!.!.!.
Or maybe you can make a creamy collie flower dish!.!.!. with a little cream and Parmesan cheese!.!.!. like a casserole or something!.!.!.
Try getting a cookbook for Mediterranean cooking!.!.!. or looking for recipes cause you could find a lot of side dishes to go along with the foods that you like!.!.!.
I also thought of rolled grape leaves when I read rice balls in your question!.!.!. and maybe some kind of mixture of olives and olive oil!.!.!.!.
In some Latin cultures they have something similar to a rice ball in which they take either mashed up potatoes or yucca/yucca root, fill it with meat or cheese, form into a ball, roll it in egg and bread crumbs and then fry it!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Traditional Italian fried rice balls get a healthy makeover in this delicious vegetarian recipe!.
Arancini di rosi (Italian fried rice balls) are not normally terribly healthy!. Usually made with leftover risotto, the Italian rice balls are breaded and fried!.
This version, adapted from a recipe in Vegetarian Times, calls for instant brown rice instead of risotto, making these rice balls not only easier to make, but more nutritious as well!. And the rice balls are baked in the oven, rather than fried!. The result is a surprisingly tasty, less labor-intensive, and lower calorie version of the traditional Italian favorite!.
Look for marinated mozzarella balls in the cheese section of your local grocery store, at an Italian market, or Trader Joe's!. If you can't find marinated mozzarella balls, simply cut up 12 oz!. of fresh mozzarella cheese into bite-sized pieces!.
Serve these rice balls with marinara sauce and homemade Italian bread for a soul-satisfying, Italian vegetarian meal!.
Arancini di Rosi (Italian Fried Rice Balls)
* 4 slices whole wheat bread
* 1-1/2 cups instant brown rice
* 4 spring onions, divided
* 2 cloves of garlic, finely minced
* 1/2 cup egg substitute (such as Egg Beaters)
* 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
* 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
* 1 12 oz!. container marinated mozzarella balls, drained with marinade reserved
Place whole wheat bread in a food processor and pulse until mixture forms fine crumbs!. Set aside!. Place rice, 1 spring onion (not chopped), minced garlic and 3-1/2 cups of water in a large saucepan!. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium low and allow the rice to simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed, whichever comes first!. Remove the spring onion!. Transfer the rice to a glass or metal bowl and allow to cool completely!.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F!.
Line a sheet pan with a silpat mat or parchment paper!. Chop the remaining spring onions finely!. Add to the rice!. Add the egg substitute, fresh parsley, Parmesan cheese, and one-quarter cup of the bread crumbs to the rice mixture!. Place the remaining bread crumbs on a plate!.
Take one mozzarella ball and shape a golf-ball-sized mixture of rice around it!. Roll in the bread crumbs and place on the prepared sheet pan!. Repeat with the remaining mozzarella balls, rice and bread crumbs!. If you used marinated mozzarella balls, drizzle 2 Tbsp!. of the reserved marinade over the rice balls!. If not, drizzle 2 Tbsp!. of extra virgin olive oil over the rice balls!.
Bake in the preheated oven 20 to 25 minutes or until the rice balls are golden brown!.
Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping and a side of greek salad!.
