Hakka hometown Okra


Steamed spicy okra (lady's finger)

This is my uncle's recipe : not a hint of tartness or gluey texture.

The secrets lie in the slicing of the okra lengthwise and the concoction of sauces with dried shrimp and chilli.

    Hi!

    I am a big fan of Hakka dish, although I am Cantonese. Would you happen to have the recipe of this Okra dish, as I am keen to try it out?

    Hi Philip,

    Here's a simple recipe. You could tweak according to your preferences with different proportion and combination of sauces.

    Here are two versions :

    1. Stir fry with XO sauce

    2. Steam with dark soy sauce. When cooked, add a little sesame oil and fried shallot. You may add cut chilli if you like spicy food.
