Okra - 20 to 30 small tender pods
Cornmeal
1 egg
oil
Salt

Wash okra by hand. (Lightly rub pods with a paper towel under running water.) Pat dry. Cut okra into bite-sized pieces. Beat egg and pour onto okra and toss lightly until okra is coated. Sprinkle cornmeal onto okra and toss lightly until okra is covered. Pour into a pre-heated skillet of oil (enough to coat bottom of skillet), on medium high. Cook for a few minutes until okra is browned on one side and turn with spatula. Cook until browned all over. Lift out onto plate covered with paper towels and salt to taste.
