If you want to enjoy vegetables with a unique flavor, Okaka-ae is highly recommended. It allows you to enjoy the natural flavors of the ingredients while experiencing a traditional Japanese taste.
Sprinkle salt (not included in the recipe) on the okra and rub it together.
Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, add the okra and cook for 1-2 minutes, then remove the okra.
Chill the okra in cold water or under running water, and then drain it. Remove the stem end from each okra and cut the remaining pods diagonally into 2-3 pieces.
Put the okra, soy sauce, and shaved bonito flakes in a bowl and toss them together.
Notes
You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
