Angwamo is different from fried rice, where you cook the rice before frying it. In angwamo, you fry the rice with onions and salted beef in oil, then add water and cook until the rice is soft and fluffy. The frying process gives the rice a golden color, a sweet flavor, and a glossy sheen. The salted beef, also known as tolo beef or Ghana tolo beef, adds a musky and aromatic taste to the dish. You can also add vegetables, such as carrots, peas, or corn, to make it more nutritious.
Angwamo is one of the easiest dishes to make, and it only requires a few ingredients that you can find in most grocery stores. Here is a simple recipe that you can follow to make angwamo at home:
Ingredients for making Angwamo:
-
2 cups of jasmine rice (or any long-grain rice)
-
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
-
1/2 medium onion, diced
-
1/4 cup of salted beef, diced (you can also use bacon or ham)
-
3 1/2 cups of water
-
1 bouillon cube (chicken or beef flavor)
-
Salt to taste

Directions for making Angwamo:
-
Wash the rice in a colander until the water runs clear, then drain and set aside.
-
In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and fry until golden brown, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes. Remove half of the onion and set aside for later.
-
Add the salted beef and fry for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until crisp.
-
Add the rice and fry for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to coat the rice with the oil and onion mixture.
-
Add the water, the bouillon cube, and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed, for about 20 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork halfway through the cooking time.
-
Serve the rice hot, topped with the reserved fried onion. Enjoy with your choice of accompaniments, such as fried eggs, sardines, a red pepper sauce, and shito.
Tips for making Angwamo:
-
To make your own salted beef, you will need beef, salt, sugar, spices, and food coloring. Cut the beef into small pieces and rub with salt and sugar. Add spices, such as garlic, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and bay leaves, and food coloring, such as red or pink, to give the beef a distinctive flavor and color. Place the beef in a glass jar and cover with water. Seal the jar and store in a cool and dark place for at least a week, shaking the jar every day. Drain the beef and rinse before using.
-
To make your own red pepper sauce, you will need fresh tomatoes, fresh hot peppers, onion, and salt. Blend the ingredients together until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened, for about 15 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
-
To make your own shito, you will need dried fish, dried shrimp, onion, garlic, ginger, vegetable oil, tomato paste, hot pepper powder, and salt. Grind the dried fish and shrimp into a fine powder. Chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger and fry until soft, for about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste, the hot pepper powder, and salt to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, until the oil separates from the tomato paste, for about 20 minutes. Add the fish and shrimp powder and cook, stirring constantly, until well combined, for about 10 minutes. Transfer the shito to a glass jar and let it cool completely. Seal the jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to a month.

The marital crisis I was going through came to and end when Dr Adoda got involved. Just like every other couples out there, we had our differences and I ensure I did my best to lead her right, provide for her and my kids and also protected them. We both made sacrifices to ensure we survived the union until she started acting up and deliberately had so many fights with me. The home became unpleasant for everyone else including my children. She was being manipulated by a friend who had been divorced and wanted to also ruin my marriage. I had to contact {http://dradodalovetemple.com} and he responded and did his best to end what was going on within us. He restored the love and connection between us and I can tell now that whatever illusion my wife was under has been taking away and she is a better Wife and a mother now. The result of what Dr Adoda did for me that manifested after 48HOURS was what amazed me. I and my household remain grateful. I appeal to anyone who needs help to fix their relationships and marital problems to Visit Adoda website because the solution is sure. http://dradodalovetemple.com

Hi My name is Mona. I just want to share my experience with the world on how I got my love back and saved my marriage… I was married for 7 years with 4 kids and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had fights and arguments almost every time… it got worse at a point that he filed for divorce… I tried my best to make him change his mind & stay with me cause I loved him with all my heart and didn’t want to lose him but everything just didn’t work out… he moved out of the house and still went ahead to file for divorce… I pleaded and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful, great spell caster Dr Zuma, who eventually helped me out… I have never been a fan of things like this but just decided to try reluctantly cause I was desperate and left with no choice… He did special prayers and cast a love spell on him. Within 24hours he called me and was sorry for all the emotional trauma he had cost me, he moved back to the house and we continue to live happily, the kids are happy too and we are expecting our fourth child… I have introduced him to a lot of couples with relationship problems across the world and they have had good news… Just thought I should share my experience cause I strongly believe someone out there needs it… You can contact him on spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com

Good day viewers, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs, but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery and I saw many individuals testifying about Priest Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery and he clarified the process to me stating that after he casts the spell it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers which I accepted. I followed all his instructions and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery.. After the draw the following morning I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery. I’m here to extend my heartfelt gratitude and praise to Priest Meduza. If you need help in your life, Whats_App +18077983042 or Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or visit: lordmeduzatemple.com
