Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams fresh okra
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the okra thoroughly under running water and pat dry. Trim the stems and cut each okra pod into 1-inch pieces.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the cut okra to the pan and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, ensuring that all pieces are coated in the oil and garlic.
Add the soy sauce, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the okra is tender yet still slightly crisp.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish with rice or your favorite main course.
