👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Prepare the okra: Wipe the okra clean, trim the ends, and slice into 1/4-inch rounds. If the okra is particularly slimy, you can briefly blanch it in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes, then shock in ice water to reduce sliminess, and drain well.
2
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, minced ginger, minced green chilies, and shrimp paste (if using).
3
Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic-ginger-chili paste and stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4
Add the sliced okra to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the okra is tender-crisp. Be careful not to overcook, as it can become mushy.
5
Add the shrimp to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
6
Stir in the fish sauce, sugar, and salt to taste. Toss everything together to combine.
7
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately with steamed rice.
