How to Make

  • Step 1: 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.

  • Step 2: 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.

  • Step 3: 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.

  • Step 4: BREAD THE BEANS: Whisk the egg and milk in a shallow bowl. Place 1/2 cup flour in another shallow bowl.

  • Step 5: Combine the breadcrumbs, the remaining 1/2 cup flour, the onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste in another bowl.

  • Step 6: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Step 7: Toss the green beans in the flour and shake off the excess.

  • Step 8: 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.

  • Step 9: COOK THE BEANS: 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.

  • Step 10: Transfer the beans with tongs or a skimmer to a rack or paper towels to drain. Serve with the dip.
