okra2
I bought some okra the other day...
let's see what can I do with all of these..

The following are dishes I created...

okra4
Blanched Okra with Non-Cilantro Mayonnaise Dip

Just boil water in a pot, once boiling place the okra and switch off the heat. Soak the okra in cold water. Serve with any dip of your choice. I used left-over mayonnaise dip.


okra5
Blanched Okra with Light Soy sauce and Wasabi Dip
Same procedure above, except for the dip. This is one of my favorite, I always buy this in Sushi Express.

Fried Okra
I'm not fun of this, just tried it! Prepare 1 egg, salt and pepper, and I used cheese powder as coating. In a small bowl, beat egg, add salt and pepper. Soak okra in egg mixture, roll in cheese powder. Deep fried until coating is brown. Serve hot.

I love okra! Here's another dish to try! I like to cut up okra and saute it with shrimp, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Yum!

True confession---I have never eaten okra. Your photos make it look delicious. I think it is time to experiment with new foods.
