Ingredients

For the Dip:

  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup peeled, seeded,chopped cucumber
  • 1 tablespoon horseradish, drained
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons wasabi powder (found in the spice aisle or with the Asian foods)
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Kosher salt

For the Beans:

Directions

Make the dip: Puree the dressing, cucumber, horseradish, milk, vinegar, wasabi powder, cayenne pepper, and salt to taste in a blender until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Prepare the beans: Fill a large bowl with ice water. Bring the broth to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Add the green beans and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the beans with a slotted spoon and transfer to the ice water to stop the cooking. Let cool in the water, then drain and pat dry.

Whisk the egg and milk in a shallow bowl. Put 1/2 cup flour in another shallow bowl. Combine the breadcrumbs, the remaining 1/2 cup flour, the onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste in another bowl.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the green beans in the flour and shake off the excess. One at a time, dip the beans in the egg mixture, dredge in the breadcrumb mixture and lay on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze until the coating is set, about 30 minutes.

Heat 3 inches oil in a deep pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Fry the green beans in batches until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the beans with tongs or a skimmer to a rack or paper towels to drain. Serve with the dip.

    What a HUGE hit-with kids and adults. Brought them to a party and they were gone so quickly. The kids weren't big fans of the dipping sauce-so I should have cut it in half. They are time consuming but not at all hard. My 7 year old prepped all the beans (2 lbs! and helped with the breading. Will make them again for certain.

    The beans have a distinct, delicious flavor, but this was an extremely messy dish to make. Also, it didn't reheat well (no surprise!. I'm glad I made it once, but I will probably not make it again.

    I think the fried green bean part is too much trouble when you can buy them in the grocery store, frozen...they are very good and addictive! The dip is fantastic with a great kick to it. I used wasabi paste instead of powder- tastes very much like what you get at TGIFriday's!
