riceball [...] with tomato paste

Sounds a little bit like Italian arancini except those rice balls are
deep fried and served hot.

I don't know that name but these are not fried at all as you see. (steamed).

Another way to make the Italian ones:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Arancini (Rice Balls)
Categories: Italian, Rice, Groundmeat, Beef, Cheese
Yield: 16 Servings

2 lb Long Grain Rice
1 ts Salt
6 Eggs
1/4 lb Butter
1/4 c Grated Romano cheese
2 c Milk
1 lb Ground beef
1 qt Spaghetti sauce
1/4 c Peas
Mozzarella cheese cut into
1/2 Inch chunks
3 c Plain bread crumbs
Oil to deep fry

Brown ground beef. Strain grease. Add to prepared spaghetti sauce
and add peas. Set aside. Bring water, salt and rice to boil. Cover
and simmer 8-10 minutes. Strain. Return rice to pan and add milk.

Continue to boil on low flame until rice absorbs milk and turns
pasty. Add butter, egg yolks and Romano cheese and stir until it
is all absorbed. Spread rice onto cookie sheet until cool. Form
bottom half of rice ball in palm of hand. Spoon meat/sauce mixture
into bottom half and add mozzarella cheese. Form top half of ball.
Dip in egg whites and bread crumbs. Deep fry.

Can be reheated in 350 F oven for 1/2 hour or microwaved.

The recipe doesn't mention anything about covering them with a
tomato sauce, but that's the way I had them.
