Counterpoint: one piece of slimy okra from someone who didn’t know how to cook it will turn you off to it forever (in my case at least)
how do u cook it right? i wanna try it now
I found this on the german Wikipedia article (but not on the English one) to Okra but was to lazzy to translate it all so Deepl took over.
"When cooked, the pod releases pectin, a slimy substance that is suitable for thickening dishes. If you want to do without it, you can either blanch the okras in vinegar water for five minutes (first cut off the tip and remove the stem) and then rinse with cold water or soak them in cold lemon water for one to two hours before processing.
Another method of cooking the pods without producing mucilage is to cut off the stem only enough to leave the pod intact (or leave the stem intact) and cook the okras in the oven only until they are soft. They can then be mixed with other cooked vegetables, for example. The classic way is to mix the cooked pods with tomato sauce and garlic. "
You can't. It's always disgusting.
It's a staple vegetable in Asia. Not its fault you never tried it cooked correctly.
