Sauteed Okra with Roasted Red Peppers

Mmmm...Looks great Mr. Chu!

too cool. i always hated okra because it was so slimey, but now i've learned to love it raw. This simple recipe rocks.

Hi..
Cool site. Just a suggestion. Instead of using shallots, use garlic. And slice the okra small diagonal pieces. Fry the garlic, jalapeno and a bit of anchovies (the small chinese type)in hot oil on medium heat till the garlic turns a golden colour, throw in the okra. cook as per normal. the anchovies will give it a sweeter taste.

Sounds goood, but that's another dish. :)

hi!
im from singapore, and over here, we call the okra 'lady's fingers', cause they do look so.
:) just a lil bit of info for this interesting blog.

My moms recipe for vendai(okra):
Heat oil and fry the minced onions and garlic.

Wash and cut the (1 pound )okra in to 1 cm pieces and add to pan.
Add cayenne pepper 1/4 spoon or taste.

Fry until okra gets golden brown.
Serve with hot rice.

A North Indian recipe:

Slit the okra lengthwise, leaving the okra joint at both ends. Make a paste with chillies, salt, turmeric, coriander powder, dry coconut, powdered lentils/regular flour/chick pea flour and any other seasoning that you like. Stuff this mixture inside the okra almost rubbing it in. Heat oil, fry garlic, shallots/onions and add the okra, cooking till the okra is slightly charred and crispy. For a tastier/fattier version, you can deep-fry the thingies and use garlic+ginger powder in the stuffing.

Will definitily have to give these Okras a try ... I see them everywhere, never used them. Thanks for the tip.

Youngcook, here. Look's great, michael. Will try to do. :D

Hi, this recipe is simple and worked out great. I've eaten Chinese-style okra before, but had never attempted to cook it myself. I'm going to try different variations of this. Thanks Mr. Chu.

We wash and dry the okra. Cut into fine rounds. Cut onion fine, green chilli fine. Heat oil fry onion till translucent, add green chilli. Add kokum or tamarind (adds a tangy / sour flavour and eliminates stickiness). Add the okra. Fry well. Beat some eggs and add to the mix. Stir well. Eat hot - this tastes amazing. My mom's invention.

Sounds very tasty. I have never attempted to cook anything like this, but maybe I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the great post.
