Cómo preparar Authentic Southern Fried Okra
- Wash the okra and cut into 1/2-inch rounds.
- Place the okra rounds in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of flour.
- Gently toss the okra to coat. Then, place the okra in a wire mesh strainer and shake vigorously to remove excess flour. The final flour coating should be very light.
- Return the okra to the mixing bowl and add the beaten egg.
- Stir gently to coat each piece of okra evenly.
- Place the cornmeal, salt, and pepper in a large resealable zipper bag.
- Add the okra to the bag in 1-cup batches. Seal the bag and shake until each piece is thoroughly coated with the cornmeal mixture.
- Remove the okra from the bag, allowing excess cornmeal to fall back into the bag. Place the coated okra on a plate until all okra is coated.
- Heat 1/2 inch of lard or vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (approximately 400°F).
- Carefully add the okra to the hot oil in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per batch.
- Remove the fried okra with a slotted spoon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Season with additional salt to taste, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, flavorful Southern Fried Okra!
