Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Green Beans
Wash the fresh green beans under cold running water. Trim the ends off the green beans and cut them into 2 to 3-inch pieces.

Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk together until well combined. Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles and bubbles, the oil is ready.
- 4
Coat the Green Beans
Dip the prepared green beans into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
- 5
Fry the Green Beans
Carefully place the coated green beans into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Serve
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. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
