Side Dish Showdown: Simply Okra

I bought some okra the other day...

let's see what can I do with all of these..

The following are dishes I created...

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.

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.

Okra and Eggplant

some okra, sliced

1 eggplant, sliced

1 red pepper ( I used chili powder)

1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

spice oil (if any) and wine

oil for frying

In a pan, heat oil and fry garlic, okra, and eggplant until cook.  Add little water and cook until soft. Season with oyster, sugar, dash of spice , and wine (if using).
