Okra Stir Fry With Chicken And Bell Peppers Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

The sweet flavor of okra works well in this stir-fry recipe, it's fusion cooking at its best. It's a little bit country, a little bit asian, a little bit south asian. You might call it an okrahoma stir fry. It's a beautiful dish with red and green peppers and okra. Many people say they don't like okra because of the slimy mucilage it contains. But okra is marvelous when stir-fried dry and perfectly cooked. However, you have to ensure you start with okra that is dry. Do not wash the okra and cut it or fry it while it is wet. If you want to rinse the okra, do it at the point when you start marinating the chicken and peppers. Ensure the okra is dry before you stir-fry. If not, it will produce its mucus-like fluid and the dish will be a bit slimy (although still palatable). For the easiest procedure, it's best to have two stir fry pans and two burners. Otherwise, you'll need to clean your stir fry pan after partially cooking the chicken, use it to stir-fry the okra, and then return the chicken to the pan to finish cooking.
