The other day I was off so I decided to go to the grocery store and of course I was hungry. So I picked up a few extra things. (My mom would always have to ask if I was hugry before we went to the grocery store and if I was she would have to get me something to eat first because I would always put extra things in the cart!)
One of my extra things this trip was fresh green beans. I have had a recipe for breaded green for a while and have wanted to buy some and try it. So the green beans looked fairly decent so I grabbed some.
Here is the recipe that I used:
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
4 cups chicken broth
6 to 8 ounces fresh green beans
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup plain, breadcrumbs (like Progresso brand)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 to 12 cups vegetable shortening or oil
1. Prepare beans by bringing 4 cups of chicken broth to a boil. Boil beans in the broth for 15 minutes and then plunge them into ice water to keep them from getting too soft.
2. Combine beaten egg with milk in a shallow bowl. Measure 1 cup of flour into another shallow bowl. Combine bread crumbs 3/4 teaspoon salt, black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder in a third shallow bowl.
3. Working with a small handful of beans at a time, remove them from the ice water and coat them with flour. Shake off any excess flour. Dip the beans one at a time into the egg and milk mixture and then coat each one with the breadcrumb mixture. Lay the coated beans on a plate until all of them have been breaded.
4. Heat shortening or oil to 350 degrees F. Use the amount of oil require by your fryer.
5. Fry the beans in bunches for 1 1/2 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on a rack or paper towels, then serve them up with the wasabi-cucumber ranch dip.
Serves 2 to 4 as an appetizer.
I don't have fryer so I just pan fried them.
