Main Ingredients- 1/4 Onion
- 2 Okra pods
- 2 Eggs
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the okra pods under running water. Trim off the stem and tip ends with a knife. Then, slice the okra into rounds about 0.5cm thick. Set aside the sliced okra.
Step 2
Thinly slice 1/4 of an onion into slivers. Slicing them thinly will ensure a softer texture when stir-fried.
Step 3
In a bowl, crack the 2 eggs. Add 3 tablespoons of milk to the eggs. (If you don’t have milk, you can substitute with 2 tablespoons of water.) Whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined, creating a smooth egg mixture.
Step 4
Heat 2-3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and okra to the pan. Stir-fry until the onions become translucent and the okra is slightly tender, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the vegetables.
Step 5
Once the onions start to soften and release their sweetness, pour 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce into the pan, preferably around the edges. Stir-fry for about 1 more minute to allow the vegetables to absorb the flavors. The combination of oyster sauce and soy sauce adds depth and aroma.
Step 6
When the vegetables are cooked to your liking, pour in the prepared egg mixture. For best results, push the vegetables to one side of the pan, pour the egg mixture into the empty space, and let it start to set before gently scrambling and mixing it with the vegetables. This helps to create fluffy, evenly cooked eggs.
Step 7
Once all ingredients are well combined and cooked through, turn off the heat. Serve the delicious ‘Okra and Onion Egg Stir-fry’ in a bowl. Enjoy this wonderful dish that perfectly balances the savory notes of oyster sauce, the unique texture of okra, and the tenderness of the eggs!
