Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams fresh green beans, trimmed
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 60 grams cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 240 ml sparkling water or club soda, cold
- 150 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 1 liter vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 180°C (350°F).
Rinse and dry the green beans thoroughly. Trim off any tough ends if needed.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Gradually add the cold sparkling water or club soda to the flour mixture. Whisk until a smooth and slightly thick batter forms.
Place the panko breadcrumbs into a shallow dish or plate.
Working in small batches, dip the green beans into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
Roll the battered green beans in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere the breadcrumbs to the green beans.
Carefully place the coated green beans into the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2–4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried green beans to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining green beans. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
