Thank you hey guys real nice Guyana here again with another realized recipe today we’re gonna be making fried okra or okra and these are the following ingredients we’re going to be needing for this recipe first of all we have the okroas there it’s two packs like this here

They are each about half a pound so it’s going to be about one pound double Cruz and we’re gonna be using about five steps of shallow half an onion one tomato one very very pepper optional we’re going to be adding some shrimp to this as well

But of course you can leave the shrimp out and this will be a very nice vegetarian recipe we also going to be using four cloves of the garlic and salt it is so I know a lot of people don’t like Oak Rose because it’s too slimy but there’s

Just a few steps you can take to minimize the sliminess and we’re gonna show you what those are okay guys so let’s begin for the first step we’re gonna watch the overalls and then you’re gonna dry that off before we cut it up so to minimize the sliminess of this

Okra guys after washing it we’re now gonna dry it out like that you want to take away as much water as possible and you can individually wipe them off like that with a paper towel or if you have a cloth after drying these off now you’re gonna cut them up like this here

So these here are completely dry now so we’re gonna be mincing the garlic and the pepper in this mortar here foreign to this dried pan here so we’re gonna burn out the water from the front here this is for our shrimp as I said you can make this a very nice vegetarian dish

Without the shrimp so this is just for about half a minute or so to burn out the water from that and then we’re gonna put it aside so after the occurs later okay so we have about two to three tablespoons of oil in the span here which will heat in

And okra needs a bit more oil and other vegetables so we’re gonna add our seasoning there now as a salad on the tomato we also gonna add the minced garlic and pepper here this smells so delicious guys bringing out all the flavors from the Tomato the onions the shallows good

Okay guys so after about a minute or so once this all the seasonings have released all these flavors we’re gonna add the okra in there now We’re gonna mix that all in foreign It Off now the Second Step would be to cook this uncovered because if you cook a cover that’s gonna produce steam which is going to drop into the okra there and positively sorry and the other thing that you do to minimize the sliminess is the salt

When you add salt to any vegetable it brings out a lot of juices from the vegetable which is going to cause it to be more slimy so we’re gonna add the salt towards the end of this dish you don’t want to add it cool it because it’s just gonna overpower the dish

But as close to the end as possible don’t add it now or too early because that’s going to add to the sliminess okay guys so we’re just gonna leave this here now and let it cook I will see you we also going to add the shrimp here now

And in Guyanese cooking we usually add the shrimp early because the shrimp usually flavors the main ingredient which is okra here now the shrimp is usually overcooked and by these dishes okay so now we’re gonna let it cook guys okay guys so another yet another step to

Reduce the sliminess in this okra is that you can add some vinegar here this is about five minutes since we started so we’re gonna add some vinegar here just a tablespoon you can also add some lime juice or lemon juice to this as well which will

Help to cut the slime in this also foreign you also want to spread out your okroas in the pan as thinly as possible that also helps it helps to reduce the sliminess okay guys it’s been 20 minutes since we started cooking this here and we’ve added a little vinegar as you

Can see there’s not much sliminess in the tofu look at that so those are the steps you can take to reduce the shininess and your o4 is going to come out perfect so we’re now going to add the salt here because it’s almost done and today we’re adding about one tablespoon

So some like their okroas like this here as it is here this color what are we gonna cook this for a little bit more we’re getting a little bit more Brown and then it’ll be done already guys so I’m gonna take a test here guys mmm yummy

Nice very good I love all fruits and this here is perfect not too slimy and the salt is okay here okay guys so this is about ready okay guys so this okra fried okra is done and ready and here it is as you can see it’s still piping hot

And it is not as slimy very nice and as I said this is a very nice vegetarian Dish as well without a shrimp of course and if you like this recipe guys please give it a thumbs up if you haven’t subscribed already please subscribe when you subscribe you get a

  1. Real nice to the rescue when I can't figure out what to cook gonna cook this with dhal today. Thank you for sharing😍

  2. When I saw your pumpkin and shrimp video that's what I thought about the shrimp that it will be over cooked I live in Guyana but I fry my shrimp first take out cook the vegetables and when it's almost finish then I had the shrimp in back and it still taste delicious and the shrimp is nice and tender

  3. Gosh. I just made this following your recipe and it came out so great and tasty. Not forgetting it Wasn't slimy at all!
    Thank you so much😘❤

  4. A Trini womam hete in Toronto put the diced ochra in the sun to dry out for a gew hours and it comes out cruchy after cooking.

  5. I get soooooo ecstatic when I see Molly hand washing & chopping 🙌🏼🙌🏼🥰🥰🥰 Greetings from Brooklyn

  6. Good tips 😊👍. I don't cover pot, either makes sense. Noticed too, it takes a bit more oil as you mentioned. Loving 👍🥰you got Molly a nice silicon spoon for your non stick pan. Like your tip about adding salt at almost the end of cooking. 😊👍👋

  7. If you fry the okra first when frying add 1 tesp. Vinegar it will take away slime. You won't taste it. Then add to shrimp and veggies.

  8. Thank you for this recipe!! I made the vegetarian version tonight and it was so delicious and easy! 😀 came out perfectly, reminds me of my Nani's cooking!!

  9. I stir-fry my okra first to reduce the slime, then the vegetables and seasonings and added the shrimp last so they weren't over cooked. The dish turned out great!

  10. I put the tomatoes towards the middle after the okra has dried up, because putting it at the beginning introduces moisture.

  11. I’ll give you a joke, two people in my life One is my girlfriend who says she hates okra because it taste like a slug meaning the sliminess she had in the past, I told her you never had a Guyanese cook okra before, mind you my girlfriend is Irish, after I made this recipe she took one spoonful taste and knocked out the pot, she can’t wait for the next time I make okra, one extra step I have seen in other videos is you can use your air fryer to do you hydrate the water from the okra if you have it if not just spread it out on some bounty paper like my mom used to do and let it dry for a day. Again this channel is amazing it’s very simple straight to the point and clear and precise when it comes to cooking delicious authentic homemade bring you back in time recipes.

  12. I'm from newfoundland and I'm married to Guyanese and 26 years later I still know how to cook Guyanese food but this my first time making this dish hope he likes it

  13. Cut up the okra from the day before and leave it on a tray in the sun for a bit all the slime will dry up my Agee been doing this and it works.

  14. I'm about to cook the cut okra that I just bought from the store using this straightforward recipe. I'll use the vinegar trick that you recommended. Thanks for sharing.
