I don't think I got the oil hot enough, so there was still a little sogginess and slime factor for me, but the flavor was definitely interesting. And Eric didn't mind the texture. So whenever we try it again, definitely hotter oil.CorvusChaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288127308643446639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983519938821764739.post-25227998617592573792010-07-16T09:48:11.910-06:002010-07-16T09:48:11.910-06:00Okay, that makes sense.

The thing about okra is that the slime is really easily taken care of with enough powdered spices or even some flour/corn starch. Don't be afraid to throw some corn starch in there. It'll dry things right up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983519938821764739.post-66407288946492781282010-07-16T07:45:27.192-06:002010-07-16T07:45:27.192-06:00Okay, so what's the relative slime factors of ...Okay, so what's the relative slime factors of these dishes, and how do I minimize it? Because I like the flavor but I admit the slime gets to me sometimes. Eric doesn't seem to mind it, though. He's way less picky about texture than I am.<br /><br />And of course, fried okra sounds deeeelicious but I'll have a hard time finding fresh around here. I think I've seen it at our local Harmon's before, but not recently. Next time I see it I'll have to grab some.CorvusChaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288127308643446639noreply@blogger.com
