Techniques
Peel the tough calyx with a peeler and slice each pod in half lengthwise.
- okra
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1½ tsp soy sauce
- 1½ tsp oyster sauce
- ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
Season with a quarter teaspoon of salt, 1.5 tsp each soy sauce and oyster sauce, ground black pepper to taste and two grated cloves of garlic.
- cornstarch
Mix well until the sticky liquid pools, then sprinkle in cornstarch a tablespoon at a time, tossing thoroughly, until it is all evenly coated with no dry flour.
- 1 cup oil
Heat 1 cup of oil to 380 degrees Fahrenheit and add the okra one by one; the hot oil stops it producing more sticky liquid.
Stir and flip for even cooking; this takes less than two minutes.
Fry in two to three batches so the pieces do not stick together, then drain on kitchen papers.
- 1½ tbsp mayonnaise
- ½ tbsp chili sauce
Mix 1.5 tbsp mayonnaise with half a tablespoon of chili sauce for the dip.
