Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, soy sauce, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Slowly pour in the ice-cold sparkling water while whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (180°C). You'll need enough oil to fully submerge the green beans while frying.
-
Working in batches, dip the green beans into the batter, making sure they are evenly coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before carefully placing them into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot to ensure even cooking.
-
Fry the green beans for 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
-
Continue the process until all the green beans are fried, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature.
-
Serve the Tempura Green Beans immediately while still warm. You can enjoy them with a side of soy sauce for dipping or get creative with a zesty sriracha mayo for an extra kick of flavor.
-
These Tempura Green Beans are best enjoyed fresh and hot, so be sure to serve them right away to savor their delightful crunchiness.
