Pick okra pods that are not too stiff, bright green, and without any blemishes. Fresher okra tends to be less slimy when cooked.
Wash the okra thoroughly and pat it dry before slicing. Trim off the stem ends and the tips.
Ensure your okra is completely dry before cooking. You can also sprinkle it with a little vinegar to reduce sliminess.
Okra can be cooked in various ways, including frying, grilling, stewing, or even pickling. Experiment with different methods to find the one you enjoy.
Okra tends to become slimy if overcooked. Cook it quickly over high heat to retain its crispness and minimise the slime.
