Fried Okra Easy Pan Fried Recipe

Easy Fried Okra

This Pan Fried Okra Recipe is exactly the way it was always done in my home growing up. So I may be a little bios when it comes to taste and flavor, because it’s a recipe I’ve grown to love. I say that because the breading in this recipe is very light and flaky. It’s not a batter that’s thick and really holds on to the Okra and that’s the way I like it. If it’s not how you prefer your Okra, then the alternatives are still listed below, so no worries. Everyone is happy because the seasoning and flavor is still very present no matter how you like it. Also, it wouldn’t hurt to throw in a few tbsp of Corn Meal if you’d like.

Pan Fried Okra Ingredients:

1 lbs Okra
Season Salt, shake
Black Pepper, shake
Cayenne, light shake
1 cup Flour
1/3 cup Butter Milk (Optional)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Oil for Frying.

Season The Okra first then cover with flour, 1/4 cup at a time then stir until the flour is gone and the Okra is full coated. If you want a thicker layer of batter you need to apply the butter Milk first, then add the flour. In a hot pan on Medium Heat, add enough oil to coat the whole bottom, then add the Okra and spread out evenly. Turn up the Heat immediately to Medium High and Cook for 1 to 2 minutes before tossing, then cook Okra too a Golden brown on all sides, then serve.

Potato Waffles with Hash Browns and Cheese

The Best Hash Browns are Waffled

You are going to LOVE this Potato Waffle recipe. Mostly because I’ve stepped up the ingredients from most of the recipes out there that really fall short in flavor. I’ve added Cheese and a few other ingredients I think you’ll really enjoy and appreciate. The simplicity is unreal and it makes it a fun weekend addition to any breakfast or lunch you might wake up hungry for.

If your interested in learning How to make Shredded Hash Browns from scratch, I have a great video tutorial for you. I also have an amazing gravy recipe that was designed for Hash Browns, by one of my local diners, called, “Killer Hash Browns“. They are so named for their “Killer” ingredients; sautéed onions, peppers, cooked bacon and sausage and cheese.

Potato Waffle Ingredients: Makes 4

2 cups Hash Brown (Grated Potatoes or Mashed)
2 Eggs
1 Cup Mild Cheddar Cheese, Grated
1/3 cup Onion, Grated (1/2 onion)
1/4 cup Flour
1/2 stick Butter, melted
1 tbsp Garlic, minced
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
Top with Sour Cream

Beef and Broccoli with Teriyaki

The Best Beef and Broccoli is Teriyaki Beef

In my opinion, your typical Beef and Broccoli recipe lacks flavor. That’s why I’m using a Teriyaki marinade for this recipe. It just gives it a real smooth lift I think the traditional recipe is screaming for. However, If you are looking for that traditional flavor you can still use this recipe because it’s still one in the same, minus the Teriyaki. Just use 1/3 cup of Chicken Broth, 2 tsp Soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, a pinch of ginger and Corn Starch to thicken it up. It’s not rocket science. But if you’re looking for a good Teriyaki Marinade, Veri Veri is really good!

If you’d like a more professional Teriyaki Sauce recipe, that Chinese restaurants make in their kitchens, I have short video tutorial and post with all of the ingredients you can search on this website.

Beef and Broccoli with Teriyaki Ingredients:

1/2 lbs Beef, thinly sliced
1 Broccoli stock, chopped
1 Carrot, grated
1/4 Onion, chopped
1 Garlic clove, chopped
1 tbsp Corn Starch, heaping
2 oz Teriyaki Sauce or Marinade
1/3 cup Oil for frying
1 1/2 qt Boiling Water

Start Boiling the Water. Slice the beef and mix in the Corn Starch. Cut the Broccoli and add to the Boiling Water and cook for 2 minutes then strain. Cut the Rest of the Vegetables. In a hot pan over Medium High heat, add the oil and the Beef and cook until the edges are brown and crispy. Strain out the oil and add the onion. Cook for one minute then add all of the remaining vegetables add sauce. Stir and toss for 30 seconds, then serve.
