Crispy Fried Green Beans With Sriracha Dipping Sauce Food

CRISPY FRIED GREEN BEANS W/SRIRACHA DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Wash beans, snap tops off and pull off any strings. NOTE: I do not blot the beans dry.
• Set up three bowls or pans. Season flour with salt and pepper to taste and put in one pan. Beat egg and milk together in next pan until frothy. Combine panko, salt, pepper and all-purpose seasoning in 3rd pan.
• Heat oil in large skillet to 350 degrees. I use an electric skillet.
• Toss a few beans at a time in the flour mixture to coat; shake off excess flour.
• Dip green beans in egg mixture, coating well.
• Toss in panko bread crumbs coating well. Place on a cooling rack to air dry for about 5 minute.
• Fry in hot oil until a rich golden brown; drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
• SRIRACHA DIPPING SAUCE: Combine all ingredients. Serve with hot fried green beans.
• Try with a marinara sauce too...yum! Add a little Italian seasoning to the panko before battering for a litle extra Italian kick.

CRISPY FRIED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Place beans in the broth. Bring to a boil and cook 15 minutes, then drain and place in cold water to stop cooking process.
• Mix beaten egg with milk in a shallow bowl. Measure 1 cup of flour into another shallow bowl. Combine bread crumbs, 3/4 teaspoons salt, black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder into a third bowl.
• Take a handful of beans out of the water and shake off excess liquid. Coat the beans with the flour, shaking to remove excess flour. Dip the beans, one at a time, into egg/milk mixture, then dip in breadcrumb mixture. Place the beans on a plate until all are coated.
• Heat the shortening or oil to 350 degrees F in a heavy skillet (or use deep fryer). Use enough to cover the beans, about 1 1/2 inches. Fry until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
