Tortang Okra

Tortang Okra is a Filipino dish which is a kind of omelette made with eggs, okra, onions and seasonings.

There are many torta varieties and the popular ones we know of are the Tortang Talong, Tortang Giniling, Tortang Patatas, Tortang Kalabasa, Tortang Dulong, Tortang Dilis but have you tried Tortang Okra? Torta basically is a type of Filipino omelette where various vegetables and/or meat are cooked with eggs, so far, the ones we know are the ones that I already had mentioned but virtually anything can be made into a torta, it’s just up to your imagination how you will use it. Like our post today, Tortang Okra, while it is not popular this is one version that you should try, especially those who love okra. Of all the torta version, personally for me this is quite unique due to the texture that okra imparts in the dish, slightly slimy, that is why we added some cornstarch and water to the mix so edges will have a bit of crunch giving different layers in texture. You should try it!
