Green Beans Tempura

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Green Beans

    Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Make the Tempura Batter

    In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and ice water until smooth. The batter should be light and slightly thick.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Batter and Fry the Green Beans

    Dip the green beans into the tempura batter, coating them lightly. Carefully drop them into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Season with Dry Rub

    While the green beans are still hot, toss them in the house dry rub until well coated.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the fried green beans and serve with a side of spicy mayo for dipping.
