Okra with Garlic and Green Onion

This dish is quite new to me, I first tried this dish less than a year ago when we dined in at Wong’s Kitchen in Albany, it was one of their board specials and we gave it a shot, since then it became a favourite since its simple, healthy and delicious. Okra with Garlic, Ginger and Green Onion is a simple blanched okra served on a sauce made with sautéed garlic, ginger and spring onions seasoned with soy sauce, rice vinegar and sugar, it’s a real good side dish to have that you can pair with any dish.
