Like okra but don't like the "slime"?
The secret to keeping it crisp is to cook it rapidly without adding liquid. If you want to include it in soups or stews, but keep it from getting slimey; soak it in vinegar with a pinch of salt for about an hour before cooking; or cut it up and spread it out in a single layer and let it dry at room temperature for several hours before using it in recipes.
