The next thing I'm fixing to make is
0:02
another one of my favorite foods and
0:05
that's fried okra. We sometimes refer to
0:08
this as southern popcorn. Now all I'm
0:11
doing right now is I'm finishing up
0:13
cutting up some fresh okra.
0:19
transfer it into a larger bowl and I'm
0:22
going to toss it with a little
0:26
Just a little and I'm not going to make
0:28
it sopping wet. In fact, I cook my okra
0:32
very very much like I cook my pork
0:34
chops. So I just want to dampen this
0:37
okra to make that flour stick. All
0:40
right, now I've got that pretty pretty
0:43
well tossed. Now I'm going to season it
0:45
and I'm going to just sprinkle it with
0:47
our house seasoning. I'm going to let
0:49
that sit for a second and I'm going to
0:50
come over here and check our grease and
0:52
you'll notice that I'm going to fry this
0:55
okra in the very same grease that I
0:57
fried the pork chops in. Now I'm going
1:00
to just take our flour
1:02
and toss that okra in that flour. All
1:07
Now something very very important. You
1:10
want to kind of shake off your okra cuz
1:13
you don't want all that loose flour
1:16
going to the bottom of your pot and just
1:18
burning. There's very few things that I
1:20
disagreed with with my grandmother's
1:23
cooking but okra is one of them. Now
1:26
grandma always dusted hers in cornmeal.
1:29
My mother used flour and so I have
1:33
followed in my mother's footsteps there
1:35
and I'm kind of just going to leave it
1:37
alone for a minute cuz you don't want to
1:39
risk knocking that batter off the okra.
1:41
If you if you feel like you've got to
1:43
move your pan a little bit then just
1:46
give it a a little shake like that but
1:51
All right, I think our okra is just
1:55
Spiders work wonderful y'all for fried
1:59
okra. Look how much I can get out of
2:02
And I want to kind of give it a little
2:04
shake to get that grease out of there.
2:07
Perfect Southern fried okra.
2:10
Does look like popcorn, doesn't it? All
2:13
right, now I'm going to slip this paper
2:16
out from underneath the okra. There we
2:20
Golden, perfectly fried okra with pork
2:23
chops. It's unbelievable. Mhm, so good.
2:27
And if it's not salty enough for you,
2:30
you'll want to salt it like immediately.
2:32
It's out of this world, y'all. I really
2:35
hope that you'll try it.
