How do you prepare okra?

Answer

The vinegar allows for a chemical reaction that actually removes the "slim" effect that okra tends to do when cut.

I think 'slim' is a typo for 'slime'. Slim is good, but perhaps not in this context. Okras are known for their unpopular sliminess, whereas 'slim' is usually perceived as a positive. I don't see the relevance of slimming in this context.

Please check and correct if I'm right, otherwise ignore this posting, although I don't understand what it means.

How do you fry okra with bread crumbs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, but only if you first dip the okra in beaten eggs. Unlike flour, cornmeal does not adhere to surfaces, especially dry and smooth ones. Coating the okra with beaten eggs (or egg whites only) will make the cornmeal stick and provide a nice crisp outer layer to fried food.

How do you freeze fresh okra for frying later?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For whole okra, trim the stem just shy of the pod, cutting into the pod will cause the pod to dry even if frozen. Then bring a pot of water with a dash of salt to a full boil and blanch the okra for about 3 minutes. Next shock the okra in a pot of ice water for a few minutes. Then pat dry with a paper towel, and place into a freezer bag and press as much air out of bag aspossible, seal and freeze.

How do you tell when an okra is ripe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I use a few tests to tell if an orange has gone bad:

- The rind is no longer orange

- It no longer smells like an orange

- It no longer tastes like an orange

Basically, if you have doubts, throw it away.

Or that most revealing would be, the orange wasn't appeelingly.

How can you keep ants off your okra?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Try sprinkling your okra or any other plants with talcum powder.It is an organic alternative to harmful pesticides. Try a product called Diatomaceous earth. Its sold at most gardening places and will deter ants from the plant if sprinkled around the base of the stalk. It works because it consists of fossilized diatoms. One celled fossils, that if magnified look like porcupines. Ants have segmented bodies and these points irritate the ants bodies where the segments meet to where they do not return. Its safe to handle with the bare hands, 100% organic and is not poisonous.
