How do you cook okra without it getting slimy?
A second trick for reducing sliminess is to soak the okra in vinegar for half an hour before cooking it. Rinse it and pat dry before cooking. Finally, you can pre-cook okra at very high heat by sauting, roasting, blanching, or grilling. Then add cooked okra to your recipe, and there will be hardly any slime at all.
