Pan-Fried Okra

1 tablespoon coconut oil

2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger

2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

1 pound okra, cut in half lengthwise

1 tablespoon coconut aminos

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Freshly cracked pepper, to taste

  1. Heat the coconut oil over high heat in a wok.
  2. SautГ© the ginger and garlic, and when the garlic begins to brown, add the okra and toss frequently for about 8 minutes.

NOTES: Keep the okra whole to avoid the slimy texture and to cut down on prep time.
