1. Okra does not need to be blanched, so don't worry about too much mucilage. Just avoid stirring it too often while frying, and use high heat.
2. Oyster sauce has a sweet taste, so I add a little less salt. 3. Add the basil last and don't stir-fry it for too long. Just mix it in and turn off the heat.
[Nutritional Value]
Okra has high nutritional and health benefits. For example, vitamin A in okra can effectively protect the retina, ensure good vision, and prevent cataracts; the viscous substances composed of pectin and polysaccharides have health benefits such as promoting gastrointestinal motility and preventing constipation. Eating okra in moderation can enhance sexual function and increase endurance. Okra is also low in fat and sugar, making it suitable as a weight loss food. Its zinc and selenium content can enhance the body's ability to prevent and fight cancer. Its rich vitamin C can prevent cardiovascular diseases and improve immunity. Additionally, the combination of abundant vitamin C and soluble fiber (pectin) has a mild protective effect on the skin and can replace some chemical skincare products. Soluble fiber can also promote the excretion of organic substances in the body, reduce the accumulation of toxins, and lower cholesterol levels.
