Okra with salt appropriate amount of scrub to remove hair, add water to soak for 10 minutes. Blanch the whole okra in boiling water with a little oil and salt (add oil and salt to keep the plant color green), and fish out of cold water. Cut the blanched okra into small pieces and set aside.

Bring a pot of water to a boil, add 1 tsp salt and corn oil, blanch the okra for about 3 minutes to turn bright green in color, and fish it out. Immediately soak in ice water to cool to keep it crisp green. Plate the okra. Drizzle with sauce and sprinkle with cooked sesame seeds.

How to pick okra

1, gently pinch with your hand, feel not hard, a little tough good. The harder the okra, the harder the seeds inside, too much fleshy fiber, eating completely without the unique flavor and soft texture.

2, the smaller the more tender okra, generally 3-5 days after the flower sheds picking, if the delayed picking coarse fiber increases, it loses its food value. Length 5-10 cm for the best (human middle finger is generally about 8 cm long, can be used as a reference), and then long okra is only suitable for seed or feed.

3, fresh okra has a natural flavor, like the smell of grass when it rains. Older, unfresh okra lacks a clean scent. A fingernail scratch, broken and juicy is the freshest.

4, the color is uniform and bright, green okra is best natural bright green, or with soft yellow. Surface wrinkled or discolored is not fresh. Hair gets old if the color darkens. Okra surface has fine hairs, is a sign of softness, if there are ridges on the fluffy hairs, it means that it is not pressed.
