How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh okra
- Choose okra pods that are bright green, have a lot of fine hairs on the outer skin, and are of moderate size, not too big or too small.
- It is best to choose those that are not too long, just fitting in the palm of your hand, because the longer and bigger the pod, the older it will be, resulting in a very fibrous and unappetizing texture.
- Avoid buying soft okra pods, those with dark spots or without fine hairs on the outer skin anymore, as these are old or have been harvested for a long time and will not taste good.
Where to buy fermented tofu?
- You can buy fermented tofu at a system of stores, supermarkets, and large markets nationwide. When purchasing, be sure to check the origin, packaging, labels, and expiration date to avoid buying low-quality fermented tofu.
- Additionally, to ensure more safety, you can also make fermented tofu at home using the recipe shared below.

Prepare and boil okra
Trim the ends of the okra, wash it thoroughly, drain, and then cut it diagonally in half for easy eating.
Put the okra into a pot, add enough water, place it on the stove, and boil for 5 minutes over medium heat until the okra is tender. Next, remove it and soak it in a bowl of cold ice water for about 5 minutes. Then take it out and let it drain.
Tip: To keep the okra bright green and crunchy when eaten, soak the boiled okra in cold water immediately after removing it.

Make stir-fried okra with fermented tofu
Place a pan on the stove, turn on medium heat, and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the pan. Wait for the oil to heat up, then add the okra and stir-fry quickly for about 1 minute until it is nicely coated with oil.
Then lower the heat, add 2 tablespoons of fermented tofu (about 2 – 3 pieces), 2 teaspoons of seasoning powder, and 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, stir well for another 2 minutes for the spices to absorb evenly, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed and turn off the heat.
Transfer the stir-fried okra with fermented tofu to a plate, mash 1 piece of fermented tofu (about 1 tablespoon) and drizzle it over the surface for decoration. Finally, sprinkle some pepper for aroma and it’s done.
