Crispy Green Beans with Wasabi Horseradish Dip

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Green Beans with Wasabi Horseradish Dip.

1. Step 1

   To create a deliciously tangy horseradish-wasabi dip, start by blending together buttermilk ranch dressing, chopped cucumber, milk, horseradish, and wasabi (if you’re feeling adventurous).

2. Step 2

   Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and a dash of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.

3. Step 3

   Blend everything on low until it’s well combined, then transfer your dip to a small bowl and pop it in the fridge to thicken while you prepare the green beans.

4. Step 4

   Next, grab a saucepan and pour in some vegetable broth, bringing it to a lively boil over medium-high heat.

5. Step 5

   Once it’s bubbling, toss in your trimmed green beans, cover the pot, and let them simmer for about eight minutes.

6. Step 6

   You want them to be bright green and tender, so keep an eye on them! After they’re cooked to perfection, drain the beans and give them a quick rinse under cold water to halt the cooking process.

7. Step 7

   Set them aside to cool off.

8. Step 8

   Now it’s time to get your breading station ready! In a shallow bowl, whisk together a beaten egg and one cup of milk until it’s nice and smooth.

9. Step 9

   In another shallow bowl, pour in some flour, and in a third bowl, mix together breadcrumbs with ¾ tablespoon of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder for a flavorful coating.

10. Step 10

    Take each green bean and dip it first into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the seasoned breadcrumb mixture.

11. Step 11

    Lay the coated beans on a plate as you work through the batch—this is where the magic happens! Heat about 1½ inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer until it reaches a sizzling 350°F (175°C).

12. Step 12

    Carefully fry the green beans in small batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

13. Step 13

    You want them to have plenty of room to get golden brown and crispy.

14. Step 14

    Once they’re perfectly fried, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

15. Step 15

    Finally, serve your crispy green beans warm alongside that chilled horseradish-wasabi dip.

16. Step 16

    The combination of flavors is sure to impress your family and friends, making this dish a delightful addition to any gathering.

    Enjoy every crunchy bite!.
