Wash okra and cut off the tips and stem ends; cut the pods crosswise into slices about 1/4-inch thick.
Combine flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. In another bowl, beat the egg; dip okra into the egg, coating on all sides, and then dredge in the flour mixture, making sure to completely cover the okra.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; add okra and fry until brown, about 10 minutes, depending on thickness; flip to make sure the okra is crisp and browned on both sides; drain on paper towels before serving.
