Ingredients

Main Ingredients ()

  • Okra

Seasonings

  • Salt (generous 1 tsp)

Steps

  1. Trim the tips off the okra stems.
  2. Hold the okra vertically and peel off the tough outer layer of the stem by turning it. (Key Tip!) If you're short on time, you can also just cut along the stem.
  3. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add salt (generous 1 tsp), and add the prepared okra. Boil for about 2 minutes.
  4. (Key Tip!) Okra tends to float, so use a drop lid or occasionally turn the okra with chopsticks while boiling.
  5. To preserve texture and color, transfer the boiled okra to cold or ice water.
  6. Drain well and cut into bite-sized pieces.
