Okra, also known as lady’s finger, is a good source of vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B complex, iron and calcium. Okra is also low in calories and fat-free. It provides a good source of dietary fiber and therefore contributes to colon health. Besides, okra has also been used as a remedy to lower the cholesterol level and control the blood sugar level in diabetic patients.
I really dislike okra when I was young due to its slimy and sticky texture. Believe or not, when we grow up, our taste towards foods change. I used to be a meat lover and love all kind of sweet stuffs. But now, I eat more vegetables and reduce my sugar consumption.
I love okra with curry. I really think that okra and curry are perfect match. But surprisingly, I found okra also taste good with soy sauce, and here's the recipe.
1. One pack of okra. Bring a pot of water to boil. Throw in the okra, boil for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Mix a little bit light soy sauce, black soy sauce, sugar, salt, water and sesame oil into a bowl. I do not have a specific measurement on this. Just use your kitchen instinct.
3. Handful of garlic. Mince and fried till fragrant. Pour in the soy sauce mixture. Bring it to boil.
4. Pour the sauce into the okra and enjoy.
