Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Green Beans
Wash the fresh green beans under cold water. Trim the ends of the beans using a pair of kitchen scissors or a knife. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Breading Mixture
- 2
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Whisk together until well combined.
- 3
Add Water
Gradually stir in the water until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. The batter should be thick enough to coat the green beans.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
- 5
Coat the Green Beans
Dip each green bean into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.
- 6
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 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- 7
Drain Excess Oil
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried green beans from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Serve Hot
