TT Test Kitchen Tip: Okra, a popular vegetable in Southern cooking, has a flavor somewhere between eggplant and asparagus. Sautéing it in hot oil transforms its texture, keeping it firm. After filling the wonton, a coating of nonstick cooking spray allows the outsides to get crisp, which creates a texture similar to traditional deep-frying.
