  • Choose fresh okra: Look for okra pods that are bright green, firm, and free of blemishes.
  • Trim the okra properly: Cut off the stem end of the okra pods and then slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  • Soak the okra in water: This will help to reduce the okra's sliminess.
  • Use a well-seasoned skillet: This will help to prevent the okra from sticking.
  • Cook the okra over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the okra and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the okra in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
  • Season the okra to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the okra immediately: Okra is best served hot and fresh.
