Similar to the Nyonya Sambal Udang Lady's Fingers, but this is the vegetarian version. I used the vegetarian sambal - [see recipe here] and the dried gluten crisps to replace the dried prawns. Quite a delicious vegetable dish minus the cholesterol.
[serves 8]
600 gm lady's fingers - washed
4-5 tbsp vegetarian sambal
50 gm dried gluten crisps
juice of 2 limes
salt and sugar to taste
150 ml water
- Blanch okra in boiling water until soft. Drained and place on a serving plate.
- Add 2 tbsp oil into wok, add in vegetarian sambal and dried gluten crisps. Stir fry to mix.
- Add water and seasoning to taste. Bring to boil, then simmer until the water is reduced to a thick consistency.
- Add lime juice to taste.
- Dish out and spread over blanched lady's fingers.
