Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the okra and cut it into diagonal sections. If you like to cut it into circles, you can also cut it into circles. I just think it’s easier to pinch the okra when it’s cut into diagonal sections.

   

2. 2 Chop the garlic and cut the millet and pepper into rings. The millet peppers are for the sake of appearance. They are not very spicy. A plate of green vegetables is dotted with a little red, which looks very nice.

   

3. 3 Boil half a pot of water. When the water boils, add 1 tablespoon of oil and half a teaspoon of salt, and mix well. Adding some oil and salt when blanching vegetables can maintain their color and texture.

   

4. 4 Pour the okra into the water and blanch it for a minute or two, turning it with a slotted spoon so that it is evenly distributed.

   

5. 5 Remove the blanched okra and place on a plate. If you have cool boiled water or ice water, you can also cool it down after a while. Okra will produce sticky mucus after heating. This is a good thing, so don’t mind it.

   

6. 6 Next comes the sauce. Pour a small amount of oil into the pot, about 20-30ml corn oil, add the minced garlic and millet pepper, and stir-fry until the garlic is fragrant. Then add half a bowl of water.

   

7. 7 Add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce and 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, mix well, and after boiling, you can taste the saltiness. If it is not flavorful, you can add a little salt or a little more light soy sauce. Oyster sauce and light soy sauce are both salty. I thought they were flavorful enough, so I didn’t add any salt. If there is no oyster sauce, just add light soy sauce, salt, a little sugar, and a little chicken essence.

   

8. 8 Once the sauce comes to a boil, cook for another two to three minutes and then turn off the heat.

   

9. 9 Pour the cooked sauce over the okra, mix well and serve.
