Sambal Okra (Ladies Fingers)

Okra or Ladies Finger is one of my favourite vegetables, especially cooked with curry or chilli or sambal. Ingredients

200 gm Okra (Wash and brush off tiny hairs off Okra)
1 to 2 tbsp Sambal (ready type)
1 tbsp dried shrimp, soaked and coarsely chopped

Method

Blanch whole okra in boiling water for about 4–5 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
When cool, sliced okra diagonally.
Heat wok with oil and stir fry dried shrimp till fragrant.
Add sambal and stir fry.
Add okra in and stir fry briefly and serve with hot white rice.

Note: As I like my okra spicy, I added 2 tbsp of sambal, to those who do not like too spicy, 1 tbsp is enough. If you want to add less than 1 tbsp, then it is no longer sambal okra (ha ha ha).
