Grilled okra

- Okra 200g
- 200 grams of fresh shrimp (minced)
- 200 grams of minced pork
- 3 shallots (finely chopped)
- 4 sprigs of green onions, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 3 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon minced chili.
- 15 grams of dried shrimp (crushed)
Common seasonings (a small amount): (seasoning powder/pepper/sugar)

Preparing the ingredients:

Wash the fresh shrimp you bought, remove the vein, discard the head, peel the shell, and then mince them finely.

Wash the okra thoroughly after purchasing it, let it drain, then use a knife to make a lengthwise cut along the okra pod, gently separate the ends, and use a small spoon to scoop out the inner part and seeds.

* Put the minced shrimp into a large bowl along with the minced pork and chopped shallots. Add 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and a sprig of chopped green onions. Use a spoon to mix well until all the ingredients and seasonings are combined.

After removing the seeds from the okra, rinse it thoroughly and let it drain. Then, stuff the okra with the shrimp paste mixture.

Using a small spoon, gently scoop out small portions of shrimp paste, carefully open the okra pod, and place the shrimp paste inside, pressing lightly to ensure it is completely stuffed inside.

Trim the ends of the okra pods neatly and cleanly before placing them on a plate.

Grilled okra

Arrange the okra on a large plate, bring a pot of water to a boil, place a steamer basket on the stove, add the okra, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes until the okra is slightly cooked and the shrimp paste is firm.

Next, heat the grill over medium heat and place the okra on it, turning it frequently so that both the okra and the shrimp paste filling cook evenly without burning.

When you see that the outer layer of the okra is slightly charred and the shrimp patties are grilled to a golden brown and fragrant, then remove the okra and place it on a plate.

Making scallion oil

Wash 3 sprigs of green onions, drain the water, then chop them finely. Put them in a bowl, add a little salt, and mix well.

Place a pan over high heat and add 4 tablespoons of cooking oil. Heat the oil until it's very hot and slightly bubbling, then pour the hot oil directly into the bowl of scallion oil and mix well until the scallions are slightly cooked.

Prepare the dipping sauce:

Place a pot over high heat, add 50g of sugar, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, and 3 tablespoons of lime juice, and stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Bring the mixture to a boil for 2 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved completely and the mixture has thickened slightly. Then turn off the heat and pour the mixture into a large bowl.

In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of minced chili, and 15 grams of finely ground dried shrimp with the fish sauce mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Finished product:

So, with just a few simple steps, the grilled okra stuffed with shrimp is complete, looking incredibly delicious and appealing. The grilled okra is arranged on a plate, topped with a glossy layer of scallion oil and a tangy, savory sauce.

Okra stuffed with a firm shrimp paste filling, grilled until slightly charred and cooked through, is both fragrant and retains its crispness. The shrimp filling has a natural sweetness combined with the crunchy texture of the finely ground minced pork, making it incredibly appealing. This dish is especially delicious when served with some shredded unripe mango!

This will certainly be a unique and appealing dish, adding a fresh twist to your family's menu.
