  • Drop the battered green beans one by one in the hot oil. Cook in batches until golden and crisp, about two to three minutes (see notes after the recipe).

  • Mix the ingredients for the sauce.
  • Serve the tempura-style crispy green beans with the dipping sauce on the side.

Connie’s Notes

Unless you have a super large frying pan or wok, cooking the battered green beans in batches is essential to ensure that the temperature of the cooking does not drop. If you cook too many pieces and the oil temperature drops, the green beans and batter will take too long to cook. By the time the batter is golden and crisp, it will have absorbed too much oil and the green beans will be soggy.
