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.

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.

I'm allergic to oranges. Is there a substitute I can use?

I love the idea of this recipe, but I think it needs a few tweaks. I would add some ginger and garlic to the sauce, and I would also use less sugar.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my okra turned out slimy. I think I might have overcooked it.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover okra. I usually just fry okra, but this recipe gives it a new and exciting flavor.

This is a unique and interesting recipe! The combination of okra and orange is surprising but delicious. I love the tangy and slightly sweet flavor of the sauce, and the okra is cooked perfectly - it's tender but still has a bit of crunch to it.
