1. 1
   Bring a pot of water to a boil and add oil. Blanch the okra for 1.5 minutes. The oil will coat the surface and retain the vivid green color.
   ▶ ≈0:24
2. 2
   Remove the okra from the pot and rinse it thoroughly under running water until completely cooled so it is easy to handle.
   ▶ ≈0:37
3. 3
   Remove the calyx (the part connecting the stem) and cut the okra into approximately 1/4-inch-thick slices.
   ▶ ≈0:49
4. 4
   Place the okra slices in a bowl, crack in 3 eggs, and add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, ground white pepper, and garlic chili sauce. Mix everything together well.
   ▶ ≈1:16
5. 5
   Turn the heat to high and heat the wok until smoking hot. Add the oil and swirl it around to form a non-stick layer.
   ▶ ≈1:37
6. 6
   Pour the okra and egg mixture into the wok, wait 10 seconds, then gently swirl the wok to ensure the bottom is not sticking.
   ▶ ≈1:50
7. 7
   Once the egg is set, flip it with a spatula to pan-fry the other side. Chinese cooking prefers eggs that are brown and crispy, but cook to your preferred doneness. Keep stirring and breaking the egg into smaller pieces.
