Quick Boil. The secret to tender boiled okra with a little snap still in the fibers is to drop the pods into a pot of boiling water and cook on a vigorous heat for a limited period. For the shorter, younger pods, 3 to 4 minutes, covered, at a rolling boil will be sufficient, whereas for longer, more mature pods, up to 8 minutes might be required. The okra are done when the tines of a fork will easily penetrate the flesh just below the stalk. Any longer and overcooking could turn the okra slimy.
