Here's a simple and fantastic Chinese recipe for preparing okra. If you've been hesitant to try okra due to its slimy texture, this recipe is for you because the egg protein absorbs most of the slime and balances the texture in a perfect way. You will be surprised by the result: fresh, crispy okra, soft, tender egg, and no more sticky strings pulling in between the pods.This is probably the best way to enjoy okra.
Ingredients
170g / 6 oz okra
1 tbsp cooking oil to blanch the okra
3 large size eggs
1 Tbsp soy sauce (Amazon Link - geni.us/light-soy-sauce)
1 Tbsp oyster sauce (Amazon Link - geni.us/premium-oyster-sauce)
1/2 Tbsp garlic chili sauce
1/4 tsp ground white pepper (Amazon Link - geni.us/white-peppercorns)
2.5 Tbsps cooking oil
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add oil and okra, and blanch for 1.5 minutes. The oil will coat the surface of the okra and retain its vivid green color.
Take the okra out of the pot and rinse under running water to cool completely so your hands can handle it.
Discard the calyx, where the part that connects the stem. Then cut the okra into 1/4 inch thick slices. Okra is also known as lady’s finger or gumbo, its slime liquid is made up of a soluble fiber, which is nutritious and good for you. If you want to see more Chinese recipes to cook okra, let me know in the comment.
Place the okra into a bowl. Crack in 3 eggs and add 1 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of oyster sauce, 1/4 tsp of ground white pepper, and 1/2 tbsp of your favorite chili sauce to give the dish a little spicy kick (any brand will work). Mix well
Turn the heat to high and heat the wok until smoking hot. Add 2.5 Tbsps of oil and swirl it around to form a non-stick layer at the bottom.
Add the okra and egg mixture and wait for 10 seconds. Then gently swirl the wok around to make sure the bottom of the egg is not sticking to the metal.
Once the egg is set, use you spatula to flip to pan fry the other side. Chinese people prefer our eggs to be brown and crispy, which may be a bit over cooked in western cuisines. However, you can cook to your favorite doneness. Keep stirring and break the egg into smaller pieces.
You can serve it as a side dish. I like to eat it as a condiment alongside plain congee. - Jak na to + styl
Just purchased okra today to fried but will give yours a try I didn't get much I'll have to adjust the ingredients or just buy more the next time love me some okra with beans in the winter and the information which you shared about the slime wow great!! Excited to cook okra a different way Thanks for sharing 💖
Nigerians eat Okra boiled and salted, mucilage and all; from childhood, it's an amazing vegetable, a superfood. Of course if you didn't grow up with it, you might not like the slime.
Very cool recipe, I might try this.
Yeah I even enjoy the slimy feel and can’t remember ever hating it, though I’m sure to get some looks if I try frying it with eggs in my Nigerian home but I cook unusual stuff all the time so might as well.
I grew up with it. I didn’t like it then, and don’t like it now. Except cornmeal fried okra, but even with that, I can only eat a couple pieces.
@@Thi-Nguyen 😂 I guess it's not for everyone then, wish you could try some Nigerian soups that have okra in it (if you haven't that is).
@@bradohms I haven’t. But it might be interesting.
yes that’s the key part if you didn’t grow up eating it you may not like it
I love okra, I even love it when it's slimy. I would like to see more of your okra recipes!
My mom loves okra picked fresh from the garden. Yes, raw. 🤢
Me too
A thousand likes!!!! I even wanna try eat it raw, from the tree to my mouth
@@ShabehLoyal my mom grows it fresh in her garden every year and eats it as she’s picking. Raw and freshly picked. 🙂
Me tooooo
Okra grows like crazy here in our gardens where I live. I am always trying to find new ways to cook it. Thank you for sharing
Love okra! Please show us more.
Seconded!
I'll show you everything.
YES, YES, Yes! I just checked your videos, and there were no any videos of okra, so please, please, please do post more okra recipes. I cook okra Indian style so I need more Chinese way cooking this fabulous veg. LOVE your recipes and cook them often.
Please more okra recipes. I love okra but my wife doesn’t like the slimy texture
i make the okra with Chicken and cut tomatoes, garlic, add lemon and its delicious
The okra becames slimy of the inside enters in contact with water. So if you dry them properly before cutting they will not became slimy.
You can also prepare them sauteed with a bit of oil. Fry them until golden brown them season. They will be perfect and not slimy.
Okra being slimy is what I like about it!
I like it too. I like slimy.
In the south we love our fried okra, but this is a different take on Okra and I’m looking forward to trying.
I am Cajun. I grow it in my garden. We smother it with a bit of onion and tomato. I freeze that for future gumbos. I like it boiled and dipped in vinegar, fried with cornmeal and flour mixture, I can (pressure can) okra tomato,onion, and corn together. I would love to see more of your okra recipes.
I canned some okra with tomatoes and sausage one year, and didn’t leave enough headspace in the jar, all ruined a few days later.
I'm one of those people who likes the sliminess of okra.
I've had this before also, and I also like it!
Mindy, thank you for this recipe it looks delicious. Okra is my favorite vegetable and I would love to see more recipes using okra. Thank you
Yum! I have some frozen okra left. I hope this works with frozen. I would love to see popcorn okra and steamed egg with okra, maybe an okra quiche. All with a Chinese twist. Mat or tofu stuffed okra? or okra boats? Yum YUM!! 😃 I keep trying to grow okra up here in Canada. It works but I have to start them indoors pretty early to give them a chance. It is hot enough in the summer and I always grow enough to be able to save some seeds for the next season.
Looks very nice and yes, more Chinese okra recipe please👍🙏👩🏻🍳😋😋
I looooooove okra - stir fry, deep fried (cajun style), in gumbo and in soups like Vietnamese canh chua (a sour catfish soup). I don't mind the slimy texture because I grew up with it. I think it's because of the caviar-like pop of the seeds inside. I would definitely love to see more recipes with this vegetable since I love it so much.
Yes please, more okra dishes. Love okra!
Love love love superfood okra ! As Nigerians,we love its glorious slime, but this looks good too. Certainly trying it out. Do more chinese okra recipes 😊
Yes please more okra dishes xx
I’m also an okra lover. So glad to see this video!!! I’m definitely making this dish. Please do more!

Edit: pop the omelette into the oven to continue cooking the okra for 10-15 min without overcooking the eggs!

I love the flavor of okra and am always looking for new ways to make it.
I grow so much of it during summer. It would be great if you could share more recipes with it as a main ingredient.😊
The Okra will never be slimy, if you'll cut the end as a conic and don't cut in . The balkan people bakes it more times in the week with onions, tomatoes, Paprika, eggplants, garlic and our spicy, persil, oregano and pepper and with olive oil.
It's number 1 for the diabetics. I'll try this one, why not😊. Thanks a lot! ❤
Thanks Mindy can’t wait to try.

Interesting way to make okra. Americans in the south like 'em breaded and fried. I love them in gumbo and such. The slime doesn't bother me at all.
Thank you it looks good
you are the best cook for sure. Thank you very much!
I loved the short and quick recipe will try it out thanks
Im going to give this a try soon
Thank you for sharing madame ! ❤
Thank you for this excellent recipe...definitely will try it
❤ I love okra and I will be trying this dish especially with egg because I'm always looking to put something green in my breakfast and it's over it look like it's going to work with me
I sure will try this one for variety.
One way to take away the slime is washing and drying it with paper towel, cut as in this recipe, heat the frying pan or wok like this recipe, than add the sliced okra, go adding some drops of vinegar and mixing, do this again adding vinegar and mixing until you notice that there is none or almost nome slime at the bottom of the pan/wok (Go little by little with the vinegar not to overpower the okra). When like this you can add garlic, salt, and any spices you enjoy, even cherry tomatoes halved or tomatoes shopped. Serve it as soon as possible. Enjoy!
The recipe is awesome. It's easy to prepare. I would like to know more Okra recipes. Thanks for the information.
It seems a very nice way to cook okra. I'll give it a try.
Thank you for sharing. More okra, please.
Thanks alot, I've always wanted to Eat Okra because of its benefits but I hated the sticky bit of it. Now am going to be eating. Thanks alot for the recipe
Unique recipe
This is excellent Thanks alot. God bless you
Nice method of expressing about cooking
Love Okro so much ❤I will try it with the eggs 👍
I will give this a try, it is very similar to our southern fried okra with egg and asian spices instead of our corn meal batter. Looks good though and I already have the ingredients. Thank you.
Yummy. Will try it
Wow. What a beautiful dish ❤❤❤
