Sesame tempura green beans with soy lime dipping sauce

Sesame tempura green beans with soy lime dipping sauce is a delightful appetizer that combines the crisp texture of tempura with the refreshing tang of a soy lime dipping sauce. This dish is perfect for entertaining guests or as a fun and tasty snack.

Ingredients:

8 fl oz beer
240g
1.50 cups green beans
300g
3 tbsp sesame butter
44g
2 tsp lime juice
10g
4 cups vegetable oil
900g
2 tbsp soy sauce
36g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
1 tsp sugar
4.20g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Green Beans:
- Wash and trim the ends off the green beans. Set aside.
2. Heat the Oil:
- In a deep frying pan or a pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil maintains a consistent temperature.
3. Make the Tempura Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, pour the beer.
- Gradually whisk in the flour until the batter is smooth and slightly thickened. The consistency should be able to coat the green beans evenly.
4. Fry the Green Beans:
- Once the oil is heated, dip each green bean into the tempura batter, making sure it’s fully coated.
- Carefully place the battered green beans into the hot oil. Fry a few at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Fry the green beans for about 2-3 minutes or until they are crispy and golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
5. Prepare the Soy Lime Dipping Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame butter, lime juice, and sugar.
- Stir well until the sauce is smooth and the sugar is fully dissolved.
6. Serve:
- Transfer the crispy tempura green beans to a serving platter.
- Serve immediately with the soy lime dipping sauce on the side for dipping.

Tips:

- Ensure your green beans are thoroughly dry before dipping them in the batter to achieve the best crispiness.

- Maintain the oil temperature at around 350°F (175°C) for an even and golden fry.

- Do not overcrowd the pot when frying the green beans; fry them in batches to avoid lowering the oil temperature.

- You can keep the fried beans warm in an oven at 200°F (93°C) while you finish frying the rest.

- Sesame butter can be substituted with tahini if preferred.

Sesame tempura green beans are a delicious treat that balances the crunchy texture of tempura batter with the bright and savory flavors of soy lime dipping sauce. This recipe is sure to impress your friends and family.
