there was a discussion here not long ago about using okra in a stir
fry, and i was sent this in an e-mail (actually a pointer to a web site): Okrahoma Stir Fry - an Okra Recipe That Uses Stir Fry Cooking From Rhonda Parkinson, Your Guide to Chinese Cuisine. Fusion cooking at its best - the sweet flavor of okra works well in this stir fry recipe posted on our forum by "Uncle Todd" INGREDIENTS: * 1/2 pound boneless chicken, cut into cubes * 1/2 red bell pepper , cut into cubes * 1/2 green bell pepper, cut into cubes * Marinade: * Soy sauce, as needed * Minced ginger, as needed * Splash of balsamic vinegar * Remaining Ingredients: * 1 pound fresh okra pods * Curry Powder, to taste PREPARATION: Marinate the chicken and peppers in the soy sauce, minced ginger, and balsamic vinegar. Cut the heads and tails off the okra and cut into 1/4 inch rounds. Dump them in a bowl and don't season them! Stir-fry the chicken until about 2/3 done, pull and save. Add oil, then the okra. The battle is on. Stir like crazy. Your goal is little green things that look like they are trying to be a nice golden brown. If you cook the okra just right, it is great. Under or over-cook it, it is great. Throw in the chicken, stir like crazy. Add the peppers. Toss in about a teaspoon of curry powder for fun. Serve over rice or with mashed potatoes. i haven't tried this (i don't use chicken in stir-fries much), but thought it might be of interest here. <http://chinesefood.about.com/od/vegetablesrecipes/r/okrastirfry.htm?nl=1> ms. parkinson is not ultra-traditional, but she's fairly reliable from the recipes i've read. the site has many, many recipes and techniques. (disclaimer: i am not related to her nor am i ****ing her.) your pal, blake |
