- Pour in the meat broth and add crayfish powder. Adjust pepper to your heat preference.
- Cover and let it cook for about 15 minutes. Remove the prawns once the pot starts boiling to prevent overcooking.
- Pour the blended okra into a pan, add a splash of water, and mix to retain its natural slime.
