Okra (Ladies Finger) stir fry with minced meat

This dish is simple and nice. But not many like the slimy okra or ladies fingers. I did not know that people from round the world call the vegetables differently. Very interesting. We call it ladies finger while outside Asia they called it okra. I loved to eat okra especially cooked with curry or sambal. Will put in my blog when I cooked curry with okra or okra with sambal. But my American friends told me okra taste better when deep fried or BBQ. Wow, I must try it out. I told them to try curry okra and sambal okra but they don't take spicy food. Oh, they miss out a lot on nice spicy food, yummy.



Ingredients

300 gm okra/ladies fingers (cut into rings)
100 gm minced pork
1 clove garlic (chopped finely)
1 desertspoon of light soya sauce
50 ml of water (more if needed)
few drops of sesame oil

Method

1. Wash and brush off tiny hairs off ladies fingers.
2. Cut into rings and soak into water and wash many times to get rid of the slimy if you do not like it.
3. Heat wok with oil and fry garlic till fragrant.
4. Add minced pork and ladies fingers. Stir fry briefly.
5. Add light soya sauce, sesame oil and water.
6. Fry for another 10 minutes or till ladies fingers are cooked and soft.
7. Serve hot
