Okra with Spring onion, Lime, and Ginger

This vibrant vegan side dish celebrates the unique texture of fresh okra, enhanced by a fragrant dressing of ginger and spring onions. Steaming the okra keeps the vegetable light and tender, avoiding the common pitfalls of overcooking, while a gentle toss in seasoned oil draws out its natural earthy sweetness. It is a wonderfully aromatic dish that brings a bright, contemporary feel to any plant-based spread.

Quick to prepare and naturally gluten-free, this recipe is perfect for a healthy midweek meal or as part of a larger Asian-inspired feast. The combination of pungent ginger and zesty lime provides a sharp contrast to the softened spring onions, creating a balanced flavour profile. Serve it alongside steamed jasmine rice or charred flatbreads for a simple yet satisfying lunch.
