The solution is simple: cook the pods a bitbeforeyou chop them.
(This is why its used as thickening agent in dishes like gumbo).
By boiling the okra a few minutesbeforemaking any cuts, the slime factor is cut way down.
you’ve got the option to then chop the pods and cook them however you wish.
I recommend frying them.
(Like really, why would you do anything else?)
