Instructions

1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Make the ginger soy sauce: grate 1 inch of ginger and measure 1/2 tsp of grated ginger with its juice. In a large bowl, mix 2 Tbsp soy sauce with the ginger. Taste and add more ginger or ginger juice if you like. Set aside.
3. Cut the stems off 9 oz okra, leaving the top mostly intact, and peel off the tough calyx around the top.
4. Rub the okra with 1 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or half that for table salt) between your hands and the cutting board for 15 to 20 seconds. Do not rinse.
5. Blanch the okra in the boiling water: 1 to 2 minutes if small, 2 to 3 minutes if medium, 3 to 4 minutes if large. Drain as soon as tender, without overcooking.
6. Cut the okra diagonally into bite-sized pieces, toss them with the ginger soy sauce and serve chilled or at room temperature.
