Red Rice is a famous South Sudanese dish.

It is made from red rice flour, water and oil.

It is prepared by mixing flour with water to make a paste and then left overnight to ferment and develop a tangy flavour. More flour is added to the paste to make it into tiny spheres. It is then fried in a pan before being soaked with water and cooked until tender.

It is normally served with stew and natural yoghurt.

It is mostly eaten for lunch.
