How to choose good okra
- You should choose okra that is of moderate size, has a beautiful shiny green color, thin fuzz, and does not have any dark spots or strange substances.
- When you squeeze it by hand, the okra should have a moderate softness, those are the good okra pods.
- Do not choose okra that is too large, has dark spots, and has lost its shiny green color, is bruised or wilted, as these are often old or spoiled okra plants, which will not taste good when cooked.

Prepare the Ingredients
After buying okra, wash it thoroughly and cut off the ends, then let it drain. To quickly extract all the slimy substance from the okra, cut it into very thin slices or chop it finely, then place it in a bowl before proceeding to soak it.
After chopping, add a little boiling water, just enough to cover the okra. Now you just need to soak the okra overnight, about 10 hours is sufficient.
