Stir-fried okra with eggs is one of my favorite recipes to make as it is one of the easiest recipes to follow, taking only 15 minutes to cook, and it is both delicious and nutritious at the same time.
The okra, also known as lady’s finger, is considered a superfood, rich in minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, which is one of the reasons why I love this dish so much. When okra is cooked quickly, it retains a slightly thick and crunchy feel, which gives it a pretty unique texture. Combine this with a little bit of Thai spice and stir-fry it and you get one delicious dish you can eat with rice for lunch/dinner.
All you have to do is slice the okra and pair it with eggs, then stir-fry with garlic, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and a pinch of sugar to create a tasty dish rich in flavors while retaining its health benefits.
This unique okra dish pairs perfectly with Thai Jasmine rice or a comforting bowl of rice porridge. If you're looking for a healthy option for lunch or dinner, give this recipe a try. Enjoy!
