How to cook Okra with Crispy Anchovies / 羊角豆炒酥脆江鱼仔 (Step by Step)
I am sure there are many people out there who don’t drink milk, eat cheese, take any calcium pills or glucosamine supplements. Thus, it is very important that we consume some Anchovies (Ikan Bilis), Silver Baits (Silver Fish) and lots of green vegetables i.e. Okra (Lady Fingers), Broccoli, Spinach, Kale, Bok Choy etc, in our daily diet, so as to receive some source of calcium in our body.
Okra is rich in vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants that help reduce the risk of serious health conditions like cancer, diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. It is also a good source of calcium, magnesium and folate too.
Health Benefits of Okra (Lady Fingers):-
- Amazing source of nutrients
- Aids in diabetes
- Aids in losing weight
- Fights Alzheimer’s disease
- Improves cardiovascular health
- Good for asthmatics
- Liver health
- Eye health
- Strengthens immunity

Health Benefits of Anchovies (Ikan Bilis):-
- Calcium
- Omega 3 fatty acids
- Protein
- Lowers levels of triglycerides & cholesterol in the blood
Tips: For Anchovies (Ikan Bilis), it is best to buy those split ones if possible (as the heads and intestines are high in cholesterol). It is said that Okra water could help diabetes and lose weight. It is easily made by soaking Okra pods or thin slices of Okra in water overnight, at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours. Once the Okra has soaked, squeeze any leftover sap from the pods and combine it with the infused water. For best results, drink the Okra water first thing in the morning with an empty stomach.
