- 250 g okra 1/2 lb
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 tsp chili flakes
Sauce
- 1.5 tbsp soy sauce
- 0.5 tbsp vinegar
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
Prepare the okra by scrubbing off the fuzzy exterior. Cut of the hard top edges and top stems off.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the okra to the pot and blanch it for 1-2 minutes. Shock the okra in tap water until cool.
Stack the okra on a large plate. Mix the sauce ingredients together and pour over the okra.
Place the minced garlic and chili flakes on top of the okra.
Heat up the oil in a saucepan just until it begins to smoke. Pour the hot oil directly over the garlic and chili flakes to release their flavors.
