This is definitely the best way for okra to look good. It amazes the entire circle of friends and is said to be a cure

I ate okra for the first time in 2015. I was on a business trip with a colleague and ate out. What impressed me most was that I ordered a plate of iced mustard okra. But then every time I went to this restaurant, I would order a plate of this dish. It can be seen that at that time I already had love for okra.

We all know that okra has high nutritional value. Okra contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, and is rich in vitamins A and B, calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc., as well as trace elements such as zinc and selenium, which are helpful to enhance human immunity. The viscous substance of okra can promote gastrointestinal motility, help digestion, and benefit the stomach. Moreover, okra is a low-energy food, and a reasonable combination can be used as a diet food.

The most common way to eat it is boiled cold , okra is blanched for three to five minutes to remove the astringency, and it is cooked with soy sauce mixed with minced garlic and chili. Nine out of ten people will do this. So, the okra that I share today is a way of super high value, which is guaranteed to surprise the entire circle of friends.

Ingredients needed

2 potatoes, 6 okra, a little sesame oil, a little pepper, a little light soy sauce, and a little salt.

Production steps

1. Choose fresh ingredients. Don't eat the potatoes once they have sprouted; choose the okra to be tender, all of the same size. The pinched tip is soft and tender.

• I only used 3 okra at the beginning, but later found that it was not enough, so I added 3 more. So the number of potatoes and okra is 1 to 3.

2. Peel and wash potatoes.

3. Cut the hob block. The smaller and thinner the cut, the easier it is to steam.

4. Put potatoes in a steamer and steam over high heat. You can also steam the rice while cooking, and steam the potatoes while the rice is cooked. When the rice is cooked, the potatoes are also cooked.

I first prepared the microwave oven to heat the potatoes until they were cooked. I found it was difficult to cook and the potatoes were too dry, so I gave up and used the steamer honestly.

5. During the process of steaming potatoes, we will process the okra. Boil water on a high fire, put a little oil in the water, and blanch the washed okra in the water for 2 minutes.

• Draining the oil can keep the okra from changing its color and remain emerald green.

6. Remove the blanched okra. The purpose of blanching water is to remove astringency and to cook.

7. Cut the okra into slices with a thickness of 3mm. If the tail is not needed, you can eat it separately. Don't waste it. The cut cross section of the okra is a very nice five-pointed star.

8. Prepare a bowl of appropriate size, and place the plastic wrap or plastic bag tightly on the bottom and around the bowl.

9. Spread the okra flat in the bowl, first at the bottom and then around, like building a house, one next to each other until the whole bowl is covered.

10. After the okra is processed, the potatoes are almost cooked. The judgment method is to see whether the chopsticks can easily pierce the potatoes. Put it into a large bowl after steaming.

11. While hot, use a spoon to mash the potatoes into mashed potatoes, the more rotten the better. You can add salt, pepper, light soy sauce, and sesame oil to the mashed potatoes according to your taste. Of course, you can also add your favorite dishes, such as ham, chopped and mixed together.

12. Stir the mashed potatoes evenly. If you think the mashed potatoes are too dry, you can also add an appropriate amount of water. Be careful not to add too much, the final mashed potatoes should still be able to form a ball.

13. Scoop the mashed potatoes into a bowl with a spoon, and press tightly while scooping.

14. After pressing, place the bowl upside down on the plate, and remove the bowl and plastic wrap.

15. A plate of okra mashed potatoes is ready. These five-pointed stars are like firelight falling into the world, illuminating our eyes.

You can also pour other sauces according to your own taste to meet the taste needs of different people. This dish is really too good-looking, like a star castle, people who don’t like okra want to have a bite.

Some people in the circle of friends commented that it is good to be cured. This year is really extraordinary. First, the epidemic, heavy rain, and earthquake, coupled with various news during this period, let each of us need to be cured. Food is also a way to heal people. No matter how difficult life is, there will always be sunshine. Make yourself a good-looking and delicious dish every day. I hope that each of us can be cured.
