Crispy Green Beans
Wasabi Ranch Dipping Sauce
Method
Crispy Green Beans
- 1
Prepare the Green Beans
Wash and trim the ends of the fresh green beans. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, togarashi spice, and salt. Gradually whisk in the water until smooth and well combined.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep 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; it should sizzle and bubble.
- 4
Coat the Green Beans
Dip each green bean into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off before carefully placing it in the hot oil.
- 5
Fry the Green Beans
Fry the green beans in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the green beans from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.

Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the dipping sauce for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
