Stir-fry Spicy Okra with Squid

One of my favorite vegetable is Okra or called as Lady Finger outside US and A.Yes,I know some people don't like Okra because it's has plenty of seeds in the pods and has slimy texture after cooked .I guess I like it's because I'm so used to eat it in curry fish or stir-fry with sambal..During summer we can find okra everywhere in the local market but after summer the price is not cheap at all and supply is also limited...a pound of okra can go up to $4.99..I prefer to get Okra at Indian grocery store because it's sold in loose not prepacked so I can choose the young and pretty one..not to said the price is slightly cheaper then regular market..Since I don't have fish head to cook curry fish head with okra,I just stir-fry with some squid left over from making hot pot..For me I can just eat spicy okra with 2 bowls of rice,do not need other dish else. It's yummy and satisfactory!!
