　　Steaming unlocks the succulence of okra. Here, the pods are tossed with slivered ginger and a Vietnamese-inspired scallion oil in an all-purpose dish that's great with grilled steak or chicken, or with nothing more than a fragrant bowlful of jasmine rice.

Ingredients

　　1 pound small to medium okra, trimmed, leaving tops and tips

　　1 cup chopped scallions (about 1 bunch)

　　3 tablespoons vegetable oil

　　1 (2- by 1-inch) piece peeled ginger, cut into very thin matchsticks

　　Lime wedges
