Steps
Trim the tip of the stem end. Run your knife around the stem end, where the stem and the pod meet, to remove the black line around the top of the pod. See the zoomed-in photo of trimmed okra in the post.
Cut each okra pod into about 2.5cm/1” long pieces (note 3).
Put the okra pieces and the Flavouring ingredients in a zip lock bag, seal the zip, then massage the bag gently, ensuring that all the okra pieces are evenly coated in Flavouring ingredients.
Add corn flour to the bag and seal the bag. Shake and massage the bag ensuring that the cornflour covers the surface of the okra pieces completely.
Add oil to a small to medium size frying pan (note 4) over medium heat.
Put the okra pieces in and cook for about 5 minutes, occasionally stirring and flipping the okra pieces.
When you see the brown patches around the okra pieces, they are ready.
Serve immediately (note 5).

SJam on 2022-09-27 (5 stars): These were delicious with this morning's breakfast! My harvest is small every few days and i don't have enough at a time for a proper dish. These gave a lovely fresh vegetable flavour to our plate of tofu. I will make this one again!
