Tempura Green Beans Recipes

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.

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.

BAKED VEGETABLE TEMPURA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a large baking sheet.
• Combine panko and salt together in a shallow bowl. Whisk eggs in a separate small bowl. Combine broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potato, winter squash, onion, and green beans together in a large bowl; add flour and toss to coat evenly.
• Shake excess flour from each vegetable piece, dip into beaten egg and press into panko mixture. Gently toss between your hands so any panko crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place vegetables onto prepared baking sheet; do not stack.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, turning occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Stir soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, and sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add green onion. Serve sauce alongside vegetables.

TEMPURA GREEN BEANS, YELLOW BEANS AND TOFU

Steps:

• Combine first 5 ingredients in blender. Add 1 3/4 cups water and blend until smooth. Transfer batter to shallow dish.
• Whisk soy sauce, lime juice, wasabi and red pepper in small bowl to blend.
• Cut tofu horizontally into 1/2-inch-wide slices. Cut each slice into 1/2-inch-wide logs. Arrange tofu in single layer on several layers of paper towels. Cover with paper towels. Let stand 1 hour.
• Pour enough oil into heavy large Dutch oven to reach depth of 3 inches. Heat oil to 375°F. Working in batches, dip beans into batter, shake off excess and add to oil. Fry until golden, stirring often, about 3 minutes per batch. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels; drain. Repeat with tofu and batter.
• Serve beans and tofu with sauce.

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.

SESAME TEMPURA GREEN BEANS WITH SOY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 2 inches oil in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderate heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 365°F.
• While oil is heating, make dipping sauce by stirring together soy sauce, lime juice, and sugar until sugar is dissolved. 3Whisk together flour and sesame seeds and whisk in beer until batter is smooth.
• Toss about 10 beans in batter until coated. Add to oil 1 at a time (to keep separate) and fry, turning, until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer with tongs to paper towels to drain and sprinkle with salt to taste. Coat and fry remaining beans in same manner.
• Serve beans with dipping sauce.

AIR-FRYER TEMPURA VEGGIES

Steps:

• Mix together flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Whisk together eggs and water in another shallow dish. Stir together panko and oil in a third shallow dish. Add desired seasoning to either panko and/or flour mixture.
• Sprinkle vegetables with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Dip in flour mixture, then in egg mixture, and finally in panko mixture to coat.
• Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Arrange half of the vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with additional salt, if desired. Transfer vegetables to oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining vegetables.
