How to Make Okra and Egg Stir-Fry: A Simple Guide

Okra and egg stir-fry is a nutritious and delicious dish, loved for its crispy okra and tender eggs. Here’s an easy recipe to guide you.

Ingredients: 200g fresh okra, 3 eggs, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp cooking oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar (optional).

Steps:

1. Prepare the okra: Wash okra and trim both ends. Slice diagonally into 1cm pieces. For less sliminess, pat dry with a paper towel or toss with a pinch of salt, let sit for 5 minutes, then rinse.

2. Beat the eggs: Crack eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until well blended.

3. Stir-fry okra: Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then add okra. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Season with salt and a little sugar to balance bitterness.

4. Add eggs: Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the okra. Let it set for 20 seconds, then gently scramble with a spatula until eggs are cooked through but still soft.

5. Serve: Transfer to a plate and enjoy hot with steamed rice.

Tips: For extra flavor, add a dash of soy sauce or chili flakes. Avoid overcooking okra to maintain its crunch. This quick dish is perfect for a healthy weeknight meal!
