Notes
Is fried okra slimy? Yes, it can be slimy as frozen okra do not release liquid when fried. Yet, you may find slimy texture liquid from fresh okra in high heat, usually in a stew.How do you thaw okra? If you have never had okra before, it is natural to wonder about the taste. Okra is often compared to eggplants. It absorbs any flavor; but has a silky, slimy texture when cut open and or touches the tongue. It is best served in a stew or fried.*** Calories are estimated per serving.**** When printing the recipe, please unselect the camera so that the pictures are NOT printed with the recipe (if preferred).
