1. Boiled okra

2. Add some water to the pot, bring to a boil and add okra. Blanch for three minutes, and if you want to make the okra greener, you can drop a little oil into it.
3. Take out the blanched okra and put it in cold water for a while, so that the taste of okra will be more crisp and tender. Then take it out, remove the head of the okra, cut it in half and put it on a plate for later use.
4. Add some oil to the pot, heat it and add the minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.

3. Scrambled eggs with okra
Ingredients: Eggs, okra, garlic, red pepper
Method:
1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and add a little salt and pepper. Stir well with chopsticks or whisk until the egg becomes a little bubbly, so that the scrambled eggs are softer.
2. Boil some water in a pot, add some salt and cooking oil, so that the color of okra is more green. When the water is boiling, put the okra in and cook for 1-2 minutes. After scalding, remove the okra and put it in cold water for a while, so that the taste of the okra will be more crisp and tender. Then, cut the okra into small pieces and set aside.
3. Pour the chopped okra into the egg mixture and add 1 tablespoon of flour. Stir well with chopsticks or a spoon so that the okra and the egg mixture are completely combined, and the flour can also make the egg wash thicker.

Fry slowly over low heat until the egg is solidified, then turn over and fry the other side. When lightly browned on both sides, add some light soy sauce to taste. Finally, stir-fry quickly over high heat, and you're ready to go!
4. Peanut butter mixed with okra
Ingredients: okra, peanut butter, light soy sauce, vinegar, sugar
Method:

2. Add some water, add some cooking oil and salt to the pot, and bring to a boil. Oiling can keep the color of okra more emerald green. When the water is boiling, add the okra and cook for three minutes. In this way, the okra is cooked and the color is better.
3. Take out the boiled okra and put it in cold water several times, so that the taste of okra will be more crisp and tender. If you have ice cubes, you can also use ice cubes to chill them, and the taste will be even better! Then cut off the head of the okra and arrange it on a plate one by one to form a beautiful shape.
4. Next, let's adjust the sauce. Take a large spoon and scoop a large spoonful of peanut butter into a bowl. Add a spoonful of drinking water first, stir well with a spoon, be sure not to add too much water, otherwise the sauce will be too thin. Stir until the peanut butter and drinking water are fully combined, add a spoonful of light soy sauce, a spoonful of vinegar, a pinch of sugar, and mix well. So our sauce is ready, pour it over the okra, and it's ready to serve!
