Okra and umeboshi go well together. This chilled tofu dish is perfect to enjoy during the summer.Cut the okra while they are still raw, then blanch in boiling water. It's easier this way, and I feel that the okra stay crispy while becoming extra gooey. Just drain the boiling water in Step 3. After draining the hot water from the okra and letting them rest for a while in a sieve, they're ready when some of their gooey liquid starts to drip. For 3-4 servings. Recipe by aya2920

I often put garlic olive oil soy sauce with tomato on tofu, but it's also good if you add cut okra.Mince or grate garlic if you can. If you can't, the tubed variety of grated garlic can work. The key is not to slice okras but to cut them into blocks. They'll have a better texture this way. Peel the tomato skin if you don't like it. Recipe by Puyupuyu
