Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh okra
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 medium celery stalks
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Wash and pat dry the okra. Trim the ends and slice them into bite-sized rounds (about 1/4 inch thick).
Step 2
Thinly slice the yellow onion, mince the garlic, grate the fresh ginger, and dice the red bell pepper and celery into small pieces.
Step 3
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 4
Add the sliced okra to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the okra is slightly browned and the sliminess begins to reduce.
Step 5
Push the okra to one side of the skillet and add the onions. Stir-fry the onions for 2-3 minutes until they soften slightly.
Step 6
Add the garlic, ginger, red bell pepper, and celery to the skillet with the onions and okra. Continue stir-frying for another 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and aromatic.
Step 7
Drizzle the coconut aminos and lime juice over the vegetable mixture. Sprinkle in the ground black pepper and sea salt. Toss everything together to coat evenly and cook for an additional minute.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 9
Serve the stirred-fried okra immediately as a side dish or light meal. Enjoy!
