In this guide I am going to give you the complete step by step guide on how to prepare the delicacy angwa moo the Ghanaian way.
What is Oil Rice (Angwa moo)?
Angwa mo (angwamo or angwamu) is a classic favorite dish of most Ghanaians as it is a flavorful and quick recipe to follow. Traditionally, it is mostly served with earthenware-ground pepper, with either tinned sardines or fried eggs complementing it.
Ghanaian main courses are built around a starchy staple food, which is accompanied by a sauce or soup containing a protein source. Many believe Ghanaians’ menus are high in carbs, and this rice dish is no exception.
Many also argue that the high fat and carbohydrate content of this meal makes it unhealthy. This fact makes it a not-so-regular food but a quick fix.
Simply put, it is oil rice. It is prepared with rice cooked together with oil and water. It is one of the easiest dishes to prepare.
Unlike fried rice in which the rice is cooked before frying, angwa moo is cooked by first frying the onion in oil, adding water and the rice and allowing the mixture to cook together.
