Okra Aemono

Okra Aemono is a traditional Japanese side dish that features okra in a flavorful sesame dressing.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Wash the okra and boil in salted water until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Drain and let cool.
Once the okra is cool, cut into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, ground sesame seeds, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Add the okra to the bowl and mix well to ensure the okra is coated in the dressing.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
