Fried Okra

 

My girls love Okra. I make this without egg and use soy milk instead.

 

Fried Okra (~allrecipes)

Ingredients

10 pods okra, sliced in 1/4 inch pieces

1 egg, beaten (used soy milk instead of egg)

1 cup cornmeal

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

½ cup vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, soak okra in egg for 5 to 10 minutes. (did not do this) In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, salt, and pepper.

 

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge okra in the cornmeal mixture, coating evenly. Carefully place okra in hot oil; stir continuously. Reduce heat to medium when okra first starts to brown, and cook until golden. Drain on paper towels.
