Best Deep Fried Green Beans Recipes

DEEP FRIED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil; cook beans in boiling water until bright green, about 2 minutes. Immediately transfer green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and dry beans with paper towels.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pour flour into a bowl. Whisk egg in a separate bowl. Pour bread crumbs into a third bowl.
• Coat green beans with flour; transfer to beaten egg and coat evenly. Press coated green beans into bread crumbs.
• Fry breaded green beans, working in batches, in the hot oil until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer fried beans to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

BEER BATTER DEEP FRIED GREEN BEANS AND/OR OKRA

Steps:

• Preheat Rice Bran oil or other high temperature oil to 375 degrees F.
• Whisk the beer, flour, salt and pepper until smooth.
• Let mixture sit for a little bit (can be made ahead).
• Trim green bean ends and/or caps off okra (If using okra use only smaller young pods).
• Dip green beans and/or okra into the batter to coat, letting excess drip off. (I use a strainer).
• Fry in the oil in batches, until they are golden and crisp.
• Remove from oil with a strainer to a paper towel lined plate or cookie sheet.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper. I use fresh ground pepper and fresh ground coarse salt.
• After finding I had extra batter left over, I added cinnamon and raw cane sugar to the batter and split some regular eating bananas -- battered them up and fried them too. Added drizzle of honey and scoop of vanilla ice cream -- and Viola! Tasty dessert with no hint of the aforementioned green beans nor okra.

DEEP FRIED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in deep fryer until it is fairly hot. When a single bean is dropped into the oil, it should bubble all over. Deep-fry half the beans until they are slightly wrinkled, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the beans and drain them. Deep-fry the second batch in the same way. Transfer about 1 tablespoon of the oil in which you have cooked the beans to a clean wok or skillet. The rest of the oil can be retained for future use in cooking vegetables. Add the garlic, ginger, and scallions and stir-fry quickly. Add the chilies and stir-fry them for about 30 seconds, until they turn black. Remove the chilies and add all the other ingredients. Stir-fry the mixture for a few seconds, and then add the cooked, drained beans. Mix well until all the beans are thoroughly coated with the spicy mixture. Serve as soon as the beans have heated through.
