Preparation

Step 1

Cut off the ends of okra. Cut the pods into 1/2 inch rounds. Place the sliced okra into a glass bowl and sprinkle the salt liberally over the pods. Cover the pods with the iced water, making sure that all the slices are under water. Place the bowl containing the okra and water in a refrigerator and leave for 2 or more hours. Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and drain off the salt water. Heat the oil in a skillet until it begins to shimmer. Add the okra and fry about 10 minutes until lightly brown. Turn the Okra to prevent sticking. Add the remaining ingredients and fry for a further 3 minutes, until the onions are soft.
