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)
Directions
Step 1
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
Rinse and dry the green beans thoroughly. Trim off any tough ends if needed.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Step 4
Gradually add the cold sparkling water or club soda to the flour mixture. Whisk until a smooth and slightly thick batter forms.
Step 5
Place the panko breadcrumbs into a shallow dish or plate.
Step 6
Working in small batches, dip the green beans into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
Step 7
Roll the battered green beans in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere the breadcrumbs to the green beans.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried green beans to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Repeat with the remaining green beans. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
