Okra Orange Surprise image

I created this stir-fry recipe because I love okra and was tired of making the same old recipes. I used baby whole okra, but cut okra would work, too. I am on a very low sodium diet, so use a special salt-less Shoyu, which may be hard to find. Other soy sauce can be substituted, but will greatly increase the amount of sodium. I freeze extra zest whenever I have lemons, and save it to use in recipes like this.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 17m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I use olive)
1 (16 ounce) package frozen okra
1 teaspoon prepared grated fresh ginger (bottled)
2 tablespoons japanese sodium-free shoyu (or soy sauce, if you're not on a low sodium diet)
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the frozen okra. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook until the okra is thawed. (The thawing okra will add about half a cup of liquid to the pan. If it doesn't, then add some water, if needed.).
  • Add ginger, lemon zest and Shoyu, stir and cook uncovered until almost dry.
  • Add orange juice and honey. Stir frequently, turning okra to coat it well. Cook until sauce is reduced and has become sticky. Remove from heat and serve.

This recipe was a disaster. The okra was tough and the sauce was bland.

The okra was a little slimy for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I might try this recipe again with a different type of vegetable.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover okra. I had some in the fridge and didn't know what to do with it, so I tried this recipe. It turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of okra, but this recipe changed my mind. The orange sauce was the perfect complement to the okra.
