Omo tuo with groundnut soup and meat.
Omo tuo (Twi: ɛmo tuo; "rice balls") is a Ghanaian staple food made with rice. Mostly, "broken rice" or long grain rice broken into smaller pieces is used. The rice is usually cooked with more water than usual[clarification needed] to make it softer. It is then beaten to make it smooth, after which it is shaped into sizable balls.[1] In Ghana, it is usually served with soup made of groundnut or palmnut. In Nigeria, it may accompany miyan kuka (dried okra soup).[2]
