Okra, this edible green seed pod, is high in vitamin C, folate, fibre, and a good source of Calcium and Potassium. But the reason it's one of my favourite vegetables is that it's so delicious! I enjoy the slight crunchiness when it's raw or quickly blanched, and also the mucilaginous texture when it's cooked longer. Alas, both Takoyaki and Roast Meat do not like that slimy texture, so I have never been able to put okra in their bentos.
But along comes Minnie, who absolutely adores okra! It gave me incredible pleasure to place these beautiful star-shaped okra "flowers" on her rice that has been mixed with some homemade salmon flakes.
