Choo’s Food Corner: Deep Fried Green Beans

Instructions

Bring a pot of water to boil and drop your green beans in for 3 minutes, remove and drain and run cold water over them for 3 minutes to stop the cooking. I do this in a strainer in the sink.

Make a wet batter with your seasoned cornmeal, flour, egg and buttermilk. Make sure it is whipped without clumps. Set aside.

Take your bread crumb and spread out on a plate, make sure there is a lot of bread crumbs so you get each green bean evenly coated.

Spread your green beans out on a plate DO NOT DRY. Take one green bean at a time, toss in wet mixture evenly and immediately put it on the bread crumbs and roll so that the whole green bean is covered. Immediately drop in your oil and deep fry it for 3 or 4 minutes.

You have to be fast at this. Be very care of taking them out of deep fryer unless you have an actual deep fryer you can put them in the basket one by one and drop them in the oil all together.I do not have a deep fryer so I just use a big pan and fill it up with oil and heat it on my gas stove and then I drop them in one by one.

Serve on a plate and drizzle soy sauce over them. Another option is to serve them with a onion dip. They are simply delicious.
