1Wash the okra by placing them into a mesh garlic bag, sprinkling with a little salt, and rubbing them together to create friction for better cleaning; alternatively, wash them normally.
2Rinse the okra and cut them into small sections.
3Add a little sesame oil and pepper salt to the okra and mix well.
4Add one tablespoon of potato starch, shake to coat, then add the second tablespoon of potato starch and shake again for a crispier texture.
5Heat oil in a pan and pan-fry the okra until the outer layer is slightly colored.
6Remove from heat and sprinkle with a little more pepper salt to serve.

Tips
Using a mesh bag for washing helps clean the okra more effectively due to friction.
Adding the potato starch in two separate portions helps ensure a drier and crispier coating.
This method significantly reduces the slimy texture typically associated with okra, making it suitable for those who don't usually enjoy it.
