Green Bean Tempura Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F.
• In a large bowl add the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar and salt and mix to combine. Whisk in the soda water and mix until a batter is formed. Dip the beans in the batter being sure to shake off the excess. Fry the beans in batches for 2 to 3 minutes until crispy and golden. Remove to a paper towel lined sheet tray to drain. Arrange the beans on a platter and serve with warm cranberry sauce.
• Cook's Note: When frying the beans, make sure the fryer basket is submerged into the oil. Drop string beans into the basket in the oil to ensure the beans do not stick to the basket when cooking.

Steps:

• Puree the avocado, mayonnaise, lemon juice, 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Pour enough oil to fill a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 375 degrees F.
• Whisk together the cornstarch, flour and seltzer. Submerge the green beans in the batter. Working in batches, carefully drop the beans into the oil and fry until crispy and golden, about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Serve with the avocado mayonnaise for dipping.

Steps:

• In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour in enough vegetable oil to fill the pan about 1/3 of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer, inserted in the oil, reaches 375 degrees F. (If you dont have a thermometer a cube of bread will brown in about 2 minutes.)
• While the oil is heating, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add the club soda and sesame oil. Stir until just combined and still lumpy.
• Dip the vegetables in the batter and fry, 3 or 4 at a time, until the batter is golden and crispy, about 60 to 70 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
• Arrange the vegetables on a platter and serve the soy sauce alongside as a dipping sauce.
