Crisp the bacon slices in heavy bottom pan. Remove the bacon. Let it cool and chop.
Heat the bacon fat over medium heat, add the onions and saute for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add the okra and saute for about 5-6 minutes or until the okra starts to get caramelized. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Then add rice, salt, ⅔ of bacon, coconut milk and broth. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave covered for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and top with the remaining ⅓ of bacon. Serve with sambal oelek.
