October 10, 2022 | Ingredient Spotlight, New Discoveries
Asian Okra goes by many names such as Chinese Okra, Loofa or Luffa, Silk Gourd, Singua, and Vegetable Sponge. They look like a Zucchini but have a closer consistency and taste to Green Okra. The texture is creamy-gelatinous-spongy-stringy and the flavor is mild and vegetal. Dredge and deep-fry for an appetizer or use in Cajun/ Creole and Indian dishes, relish, soup, stew, and stir-fry.
