Omo tuo

Omo tuo is a rice dish that may have originated with the Hausa people and is still a favorite among Ghanaians today.

Ingredients

• 2 cups white rice, cleaned
• 5 cups water
• 1 tsp salt

Steps

1. After properly cleaning the rice, add it to a saucepan of water. When the rice is tender, add salt and bring to a boil. Give it a good five to seven minutes.
2. To make the rice smooth, mash it with a wooden spoon or a small pestle.
3. Pour cold water into a cup and place it near the pan. Transfer the rice to a serving dish after scooping it with wet hands and rolling it into balls.
