  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  10 min
  • Cook Time:  40 min

Ingredients

Curry Mayo

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, (from 1 lime)

Tempura Green Beans

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cold club soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt, plus more for seasoning
  • 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 quart vegetable oil

Method

  1. Make the curry mayo. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, curry paste, and lime juice until smooth.
  2. Make the tempura green beans. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, club soda, and salt until smooth. Add the green beans and toss until coated.
  3. Attach a deep-fry thermometer to the side of a large, heavy pot. Add the vegetable oil to the pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil reaches 375°F, working in batches, add the battered green beans and cook, turning halfway through, until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt to taste. Repeat with the remaining green beans, allowing the oil to return to 375°F between batches.
  4. Serve immediately with the curry mayo on the side for dipping.
