oh geeze… you had me a fried and okra
. For some reason all this time cooking vegan I never thought to fry okra. My grandma used to do it all the time when I was younger I am surely going to try this out! BTW the pictures you take are so crisp. What kind of camera do you use?
I use a Nikon SLR camera for most of the photos. Enjoy the recipe, it is one of my favorites!
This looks incredible! Quick question: Do you taste the soy milk at all in the okra once it’s done? I am cooking for a group of southern folks who are used to a traditional egg wash, and I would much rather omit the eggs, but I’m unfamiliar with using soy milk as a substitute. Thanks so much! :]
