Fried Okra with Herb Remoulade image

You should be able to cut okra easily with a knife; if there's any resistance, it's too old to cook and should be discarded.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 large egg whites
1 pound okra, trimmed and sliced crosswise 1/2-inch thick
1 quart vegetable oil
Lemon wedges, for serving
Hot sauce, for serving (optional)
Herb Remoulade

Steps:

  • In a shallow dish, whisk together cornmeal, flour, salt, cayenne, and ground pepper; set aside. In a large shallow bowl, whisk together egg whites and 3 tablespoons cold water. Add okra, and toss to coat completely. Lift the okra from egg mixture, letting excess drain off; add to cornmeal mixture, and toss to coat evenly.
  • In a deep 12-inch skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil to 375 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Carefully place half of the okra in the oil. Gently stir without disturbing coating. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 6 minutes; adjusting heat as needed to keep the oil temperature between 300 and 350 degrees. With a slotted spoon, transfer okra to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
  • Return oil to 375 degrees; repeat with remaining okra. Season with salt, and serve with lemon wedges and hot sauce, if desired.

I used panko breadcrumbs instead of flour, and it gave the okra a nice crunchy coating.

I'm not a fan of remoulade, so I served the okra with ranch dressing instead. It was still delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my okra didn't come out crispy. What did I do wrong?
