Steps
Cooking
Pre-heat your pan on a medium low heat (about 1 minute).
Add about a teaspoon of cooking oil into the pan.
Increase to a medium heat and allow oil to become hot (about 1 minute of heating).
Pat down the okra so it is dry.
Add okra to the pan and spread the pieces evenly.
Using cooking chopsticks or tongs, turn the okra as they begin to brown
Saute the okra until they are starting to become soft
Once the okra has browned slightly and is soft, remove from heat.
Before it cools, add soy sauce and butter to okra and mix/toss it in the sauce.
Serve!
