Fried Lady's Finger [Vegetarian]

A simple stir fry vegetarian lady's finger [Okra] which I served with egg curry [see this post] and rice.

Ingredients
300 gm lady's fingers - washed, drained and cut into diagonal slices
3 shallots - peeled and sliced
3 cloves garlice - skinned and sliced
3 dried chillies - cut into 2 cm pieces - washed
1 tbsp cooking oil
1 tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce
1 tsp light soy sauce
a dash of pepper
1 tbsp water

  1. Heat oil in wok, fry shallots, garlic and dried chillies until slightly crisp.
  2. Add in cut vegetables.  Stir fry to mix.  Add in the sauces and water.
  3. Allow to cook for 1-2 minutes until vegetables turn dark green.
  4. Season with pepper and dish out to serve.

  1. Kimmy, my mum did mention to me long ago to use dried chillies to fry ladies fingers. I think she did something like yours. I haven't eaten it yet so I must try!

  2. Hi Phong Hong, this is a good way to cook okra if you are not in the mood to make sambal belacan, hehehe!
