Unrelated to common okra, this long, narrow vegetable has a tough, dark green skin with lengthwise ridges and a soft, off-white flesh with a mild flavor. Select Asian okra that is firm and unblemished. Refrigerate for up to 1 week; peel just before using in stir-fries soups or curry dishes. Asian okra is also known as angled luffa, silk gourd and vegetable sponge.
