Red okura!!

I saw the red okura for the first time! A friend of mine who grows various vegetables gave it to me. She said "You should eat the red one raw if you want to enjoy the beautiful color as well,because it turns green if you boil it :))"
So I sliced it and seasoned with soysauce and put dried bonito shavings on it.
Wow!! It's yummy!! I love the sticky consistency and freshness of it.
I think the Japanese name "オクラ" is a loan word from Western countries, but if you live in Europe and can't find okuras in the market, please visit Asian shop. You may find one :D♪
