I invited friends over for dinner and realized that I could do with another vegetable dish.
Although lady’s fingers/okra is an acquired taste, my guests happened to like this vegetable. This humble vegetable is full of goodness as well. https://www.healthtipsever.com/health-benefits-of-okra/
However, it is important to buy the lady’s fingers when it is young and fresh, about 8cm/3″ in length, no blemish, bright green. Any larger and you may run the risk of the lady’s fingers being fibrous and will only be fit for the curry pot.
Verdict : My guests enjoyed the steamed lady’s finger. Not a finger was left.
Ingredients
* 2 bags young lady’s fingers, washed
* 2 tabsp crispy prawn chili/haebi hiam, store bought
Method
1. Steam lady’s fingers for about 10 minutes till just tender. Stop the cooking by plunging in cold water. Drain and arrange onto serving plate.
2. Spoon out the crispy prawn chili to top on the steamed lady’s finger.
One of my favourite brands of crispy prawn chili. There are many brands available in the supermarkets.
The great part about this recipe is that it’s really up to you whether you want more ladies fingers, more crispy prawn chili or less.
