Thai-Style Fried Okra
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flours, the baking soda, and water to form a batter. Add the okra pieces.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan or wok over high heat. (It should be hot enough that a test piece of batter puffs up immediately.)
Add the battered okra, a few at a time, and fry until golden.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the okra to paper towels to drain.
Serve hot with your favorite chili dipping sauce.
Yields approx. 20
