Tips
1. Choose the right okra: Look for fresh okra with no signs of browning or soft spots.
2. Don’t overcook: Cook the okra and eggs until they’re just set and still slightly tender.
3. Use a non-stick pan: A non-stick pan helps prevent the okra and eggs from sticking and forming clumps.
4. Add some heat: Mix in some diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
5. Experiment with different seasonings: Try using different herbs and spices, such as smoked paprika or dried thyme, for a unique flavor.
