Tempura Green Beans Recipes

TEMPURA-FRIED GREEN BEANS WITH MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Whisk in the flour and club soda. Place the batter in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Pour the oil into a large pot so that it is at least a few inches deep. Heat to 350 degrees over a medium-high flame.
• Meanwhile, combine the mustard, honey and soy and hot sauces in a small saucepan and set over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warm and thick, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Dip the trimmed beans into the batter, letting the excess run off. (A slotted spoon or spider is useful here.) Carefully lower them into the hot oil in small batches, so that they do not stick together. Fry until the batter is golden brown and the beans are bright green, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper-lined plate. Season with salt. Repeat until the beans are finished. Serve with a bowl of dipping sauce.

TEMPURA GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Heat 1 1/2 inches peanut oil to 365 degrees F in a pot over medium-high heat. Whisk 1/2 cup each flour and cornstarch, 3/4 cup seltzer and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt; toss with 1 pound green beans. Remove the beans from the batter and fry in batches, stirring, until golden, 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve with 1/4 cup soy sauce whisked with 2 tablespoons water, the juice of 1 lime and 1 minced scallion.

TEMPURA FRIED STRING BEANS

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.

GREEN BEAN AND ASPARAGUS TEMPURA

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.

TEMPURA-FRIED GREEN BEANS AND SHRIMP WITH GREMOLATA AND LEMON-PARSLEY AIOLI

Steps:

• Heat 2 1/2 inches canola oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels.
• While the oil is heating, place the lemon zest, minced parsley and half of the garlic on one side on the prepared baking sheet.
• In a mini food processor, combine the remaining 1 cup parsley and minced garlic with the egg yolks and lemon juice. Process on high speed until the parsley is well incorporated. Add the 1/2 cup canola oil and pulse until the aioli is emulsified. Transfer to a medium bowl. While whisking, slowly stream in the olive oil, until the aioli has thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Whip the egg whites in a large bowl with a handheld mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the rice flour and seltzer.
• Dip the green beans into the tempura batter then remove with a slotted spoon or a spider, letting any excess batter drip off. Fry in batches (to prevent the beans from clumping together) until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the other side of the baking sheet to drain.
• Dip the shrimp in the batter, letting any excess drip off, and fry until golden and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the baking sheet to drain.
• To make the gremolata, combine the minced parsley and garlic with the lemon zest in a small bowl. Toss together with a spoon until well incorporated.
• Combine the green bean tempura with 1/2 of the gremolata in a medium bowl; season with salt, toss to evenly coat, then transfer to a plate. Repeat with the shrimp tempura and remaining gremolata.
• Serve the tempura with the lemon-parsley aioli, for dipping. Enjoy!
