Prepare Green Beans
Trim the ends of the fresh green beans and rinse them under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

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

Batter and Fry
Dip each green bean into the tempura batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place the battered green beans into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
