Omo Tuo

Omo tuo is a Ghanaian rice side-dish originating from the Hausa people, but is eaten throughout the country. It is made by cooking very soft, glutinous rice, then pounding or rolling the rice into sticky balls. Some describe it as “rice fufu” or simply as rice balls. It is often eaten with groundnut (peanut) soup and can also be eaten with palm nut soup. In the Northern Hausa-Fulani territories of Nigeria, it is eaten with a baobab leaf and dried okra soup called miyan kuka.
