Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings Cucumber Wasabi Dip: ½ cup ranch dressing ¼ cup peeled, seeded, and minced cucumber 1 tablespoon whole milk 1 ½ teaspoons prepared horseradish 1 teaspoon white vinegar 1 teaspoon Japanese wasabi powder ⅛ teaspoon salt 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste Green Bean Fries: 2 cups water 2 cups chicken broth 8 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed 1 egg, beaten 1 tablespoon whole milk, or more as needed ½ cup plain bread crumbs ½ cup crushed French-fried onions ¾ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon onion powder ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper ¼ teaspoon garlic powder 1 cup all-purpose flour 8 cups vegetable oil for frying Directions Blend ranch dressing, cucumber, 1 tablespoon milk, horseradish, vinegar, wasabi powder, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper together in a food processor until dip is smooth. Transfer dip to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes. Bring water and chicken broth to a boil; add green beans and cook until slightly tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. Whisk egg and 1 tablespoon milk together in a bowl. Combine bread crumbs, French-fried onions, 3/4 teaspoon salt, onion powder, black pepper, and garlic powder together in a separate bowl. Place flour in a third bowl. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Press green beans in flour until evenly coated. Dip coated green beans in egg-milk mixture, allowing excess liquid to drip back into bowl. Transfer green beans to bread crumbs mixture and press to coat, shaking off excess. Arrange coated beans in 1 layer on a plate or in a colander. Working in batches, fry coated green beans in the hot oil until crisp, about 1 minute 30 seconds. Transfer green bean fries to a paper towel-lined colander using a slotted spoon. Serve green bean fries with dip. Cook's Note: Substitute 2% milk for the whole milk, if desired. Use 2 teaspoons instead of 1 tablespoon. Editor's Note: Nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of breading ingredients. The actual amount of breading consumed will vary.
