Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Green Beans

    Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Slice the Onion

    Peel and slice the onion into thin rings. Set aside.

Batter Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 4

    Add Water

    Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms. The batter should have a thick, yet pourable consistency.

Frying

  1. 5

    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).

  2. 6

    Batter the Green Beans

    Dip each green bean into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

  3. 7

    Fry the Green Beans

    Carefully drop the battered green beans into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 8

    Remove and Drain

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried green beans from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve Hot

    Serve the onion battered green beans hot as a snack or side dish. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
