Add the sliced okra and chopped tomatoes to the boiling water. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon for about 3 minutes. The baking soda helps to break down the okra and reduce its sliminess.

Add the chopped onion and chili pepper (if using). Continue to stir and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the tomatoes have softened and the okra has a slightly thickened, stew-like consistency.
