Tips to avoid slimy okra:
- Do not cut okra into pieces. Allow okra to cook whole so mucus does not extract itself out of the vegetable.
- Soak the okra in vinegar for about 30 minutes and rinse it out before cooking.
- Cook the okra for no more than 30 minutes to reduce the risk of the mucus sipping out.
