Preparation
1. Julienne okra lengthwise, cutting it into thin strips about the width of shoestring fries.
2. In a stockpot or deep fryer, heat canola oil over medium-high. Once the oil reaches 350 degrees, add the okra in small batches, taking care not to crowd the pot.
3. Using a skimmer or tongs, gently turn the okra to ensure even cooking. Fry 2-3 minutes or until the okra is lightly browned, and then remove it to a paper towel using a skimmer or slotted spoon. The okra should be crispy but not dark.
4. Once the paper towel has soaked up some of the excess oil, place the hot okra in a bowl and toss with salt and lime juice. (Squeeze just half the lime at first, and then increase the amounts of salt and lime juice to taste.)
