Omo tuo, Twi for rice balls, is a Ghanaian staple food made from broken or long grain rice that is cooked with extra water until soft, then beaten smooth and shaped into balls. It is commonly served with groundnut soup or palm nut soup in Ghana, and its own source describes it as a Ghanaian version of the Nigerian Hausa dish tuwon shinkafa, from which the name tuwo derives; in Nigeria a similar rice ball may accompany miyan kuka, an okra and baobab leaf soup.
