As a resident of the American South, I was very used to a breading on my pan-fried okra. I tried your recipe this evening with some freshly cut, young okra. My husband was a little suspicious of a new recipe. I used some fresh habanero peppers from my pepper garden. The results were AMAZING! My husband loved it, too. I only used about half of the okra that I had because it was a new recipe but I will definitely be making this again tomorrow night with the rest! It hits ALL of the marks… beautiful, easy, AND DELICIOUS!! Thanks for your recipe!!

So simple yet so satisfying. I had some celery left over that I chopped up and added with the okra. Yum! Thank you for this and your many other recipes

We love okra, and this is the simplest and best way we’ve prepared it. The ingredients shine! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

In reply to Jet.

I think it might be cooked with fermented black bean paste or another type of fermented sauce.
The recipe might like this one with some added chili flakes: https://omnivorescookbook.com/stir-fried-bitter-melon/
But I cannot say for sure without seeing or tasting it.

Marrie, I love your blog and all the recipes I’ve cooked (dozens)! Apologies for leaving a review when I haven’t yet tried this okra recipe. I’m here looking for a recipe that’s similar to a dish I had at Viet fusion restaurant in California. I haven’t found anything that is a dry type sautee. It is described as: Spicy Okra – charred chili flakes, spicy fermented soybean, garlic, peanut. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Most. Amazing. Okra. Ever!!
Much, much better than fried or stewed.
(Very spicy, which I love, but I have to use less spice for the family.)

A note to those who do not raise their own okra. It is real easy to get tough or woody okra and only one pod in a dish will turn people off. I find if I can pop over the tip end of the pod then it will be tender if it splits up and down it will be woody. You can check this at your market also. Good receipt for when you do not want to mess up the kitchen with a lot of grease smells Enjoy
