Chili Lime Okra

Ingredients

• Sliced Okra
• 1-2 Minced Chili peppers (or red pepper flakes, etc)
• 1-2 tsp Lime juice (citric acid breaks down the okra slime)
• Sesame oil (just enough to coat the pan or wok)
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• Black Pepper
• Sesame Seeds

Steps

1. Over medium high heat, heat the sesame oil and add chili peppers and Sesame Seeds.
2. Once the chili pepper is warmed up add the garlic. Garlic will brown/burn quickly, so keep it moving around.
3. Add the okra and immediately add lime juice.
4. Add Black Pepper
5. Toss everything around like a stir-fry until the okra looks cooked.

Notes

• Don’t overcook or the okra will go mushy.
• The citric acid in the lime juice helps break down the slime in the okra.
