Fried Green Beans

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Green Beans

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in cold water until the batter is smooth and thick.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Green Beans

    Dip each green bean into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Make the Spicy Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the crispy fried green beans hot with the spicy aioli on the side for dipping.
