Fresh Sautéed Okra and Egg
Hey guys! Today I am going to share a super fresh and simple sautéed okra and egg recipe with you. Let’s get started!
When making stir-fry dishes with egg, I like cooking the egg separately to maintain the eggs tenderness and avoid over-cooking.
I sautéd the ginger and pepper until fragrant and release their taste to the oil.
The seasonings is real simple. A bit of salt, soy sauce and sesame oil will do. Let the natural taste shine.
I could easily finish this entire dish by myself with a bowl of rice. If you are looking for a simple yet tasty okra recipe, this might be the one for you!

I hope you enjoy making sautéed okra and egg at home. Leave a comment below to let us know your thoughts about this recipe or share it with your friends and family! Till next time!
