Okra, also known as ladies' fingers or ochro, are the unripe seed pods of the okra plant. These vegetables are prized for their mild, sweet flavor and distinctive texture. Okra have a pleasantly slimy mouthful and can be used as a natural thickener for foods. Oohori okra is fully cooked and richly seasoned with a concentrated sauce made from dashi, soy sauce, and fresh wasabi root.
