cream cheese and the nuts. MAKE SURE cheese is at room temprature. - One by one stuff each okra pod with cheese mixture until all are stuffed set aside. chill.
- Dip in tempura batter and deep fry 1 minute 1 1/2 minute at the most.
- Turn out on paper towel and soak up the excess oil. serve hot.
- TEMPURA BETTER:
Separate egg white from yolk. Beat until frothy and light (DO NOT OVER BEAT ) White should be very liquid and should not reach a stage where a peak would hold. - Fold in all ingredients and beat until smooth.
