crispy fried okra crispy fried okra

Fried okra is a great dish that is easy to make and friendly to those who like it less hot. But, if you like it spicy, the fish sauce dipping sauce is the answer. I like dipping the okra in chili fish sauce, but my father likes it better with just soy sauce. With the soy sauce as a dipping sauce, Fried Okra can be a great option to make this dish vegan. 

In the summer when farmers markets are full of people and produce, I love getting the smallest okras. They're tender and easy to fry. They're even better crispy and crunch in your mouth. I love crispy fried okra and can't wait to munch on them. So I have a few while cooking them. 

3 -4 Servings, Prep Time: 15 Minutes, Total Time: 15 Minutes
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 lb okra
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour
  • 1/2 cup water

Tips and Techniques

For a vegetarian version, dip the okra in soy sauce instead of chili fish sauce.

It is best to cook this dish last if you are preparing other dishes to retain the crispiness.

When it's time to reheat crispy fried okra (and other fried foods) a toaster oven or oven at low heat will return its crispiness, but a microwave will make it soggy.
