Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil divided
- 10 ounces okra cut in half lengthwise
- 1 inch piece of ginger julienned
- 2 medium shallots thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 1-2 red chilies thinly sliced
- 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 handful cilantro roughly chopped
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Work in 2 batches to cook the okra. Melt 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add half the okra, cut side facing down, and cook for 1 minute.
- After 1 minute sprinkle half the ginger, shallots, garlic, and chilies over the okra. Sauté, occasionally shaking the pan to toss the okra, for about 5 minutes, or until the okra has browned well. Set the okra aside in a bowl and then repeat again to cook the rest of the okra.
- Plate the okra, squeeze some lime juice over the top, and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds, cilantro, and a pinch of sea salt.
