SPICED GREEN BEANS AND BABY BROCCOLI TEMPURA



Spiced Green Beans and Baby Broccoli Tempura image

Deep-frying is not something I do often, but after I've eaten well-executed tempura at a restaurant and can't shake the memory of delicious batter-fried vegetables, I get out my wok. I turn on the hood fan, open the window and start heating up oil. I like to play around with different batters and coatings. This spicy, delicate batter is somewhere between a puffy beignet-type coating and a simpler egg, flour and bread-crumb dusting. It's mostly cornstarch, with a small amount of cornmeal and whole wheat flour - just enough to hold the batter together. I add dukkah, cilantro and cumin for flavor and texture. Ice-cold sparkling water helps keep the batter light; it fries up crispy rather than bready because there's very little gluten to toughen it. You can use this batter with all sorts of vegetables, but I particularly love green beans and baby broccoli. The batter wraps itself nicely around the smooth beans and nestles in among the spindly flowers at the end of a baby broccoli stem, resulting in lacy, extra-crispy tempura. A wok is ideal for deep-frying. It can accommodate a lot of vegetables at one time without crowding, and it holds heat well. The oil should hover between 350 and 375 degrees so that the vegetables cook quickly and crisp up without absorbing too much oil. Be sure to let the oil come back up to temperature between batches, and use a thermometer. You will be amazed to find a green bean tender and hot inside its crispy coating in two minutes or less.

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons fine polenta or cornmeal
3 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2/3 cup cold sparkling water
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons dukkah (see recipe)
1/2 pound green beans
1/2 pound baby broccoli
Canola oil or grapeseed oil for frying

Steps:

  • Make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together cornstarch, polenta or cornmeal, whole wheat flour, salt and cumin. Whisk in sparkling water. Stir in cilantro and dukkah.
  • Top and tail beans. Cut long stems off broccoli; cut broccoli tops into smaller florets or leave intact.
  • Pour oil to a depth of 3 inches into a wok or wide saucepan and heat over medium-high heat to 350 to 375 degrees. Set up a sheet pan with a rack on it next to pan and cover rack with layers of paper towels. Have a deep-fry skimmer handy for removing vegetables from the oil onto the rack.
  • Using tongs, dip vegetables into the batter a few at a time, making sure to coat thoroughly. Transfer to hot oil and fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip over with skimmer to make sure coating is evenly fried. Do not crowd pan. Let oil come back up to temperature between batches.
  • Using skimmer, remove vegetables from oil, allowing excess oil to drip back into pan, and drain on towel-covered rack. Sprinkle with salt right away if desired. Cool slightly and serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 cups broccoli florets (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 pound green beans
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, sliced thin
1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more if desired
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil. Have ready a large bowl of ice water. Place broccoli into pot and cook for two minutes. You just want to parboil the broccoli at this point since you will saute it later on. Using a spider strainer, remove broccoli from pot and shock it in a bowl of ice water. When broccoli is completely cool, place it in a colander and allow to drain. Refresh the bowl of ice water. Bring the water back to a boil. Add green beans and cook for 4 minutes. Like the broccoli, you just want to parboil the green beans. Remove green beans from pot with spider strainer and add to ice water. When green beans are completely cool, add them to the colander and allow to drain.
  • In a large saute pan, heat olive oil. When almost smoking, add the garlic and saute for about 45 seconds. When the garlic starts to brown, remove immediately and discard. Overcooking the garlic will impart a very bitter taste to the dish. Add the red pepper flakes, broccoli and green beans to the pan and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     brunch, lunch, quick, appetizer, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Neutral oil, such as canola or grapeseed, for deep-frying
1/2 cup flour, plus more for dredging
2 egg yolks
24 or more vegetable pieces: slices of sweet potato or squash, strips of bell pepper, slices of onion, broccoli florets, as you like
Salt and black pepper
1 lemon, cut into quarters, optional
Soy sauce, optional

Steps:

  • Heat two or three inches (more is better) of oil in a deep-fryer or deep saucepan. The oil is ready when it reaches 350 degrees, or when a pinch of flour sizzles immediately. Combine 1 cup water and 1 cup ice; let sit for a minute, then measure 1 cup water from this. Beat lightly with the flour and egg yolks; the batter should be lumpy.
  • Dredge the vegetables very lightly in the flour, tapping to remove excess. Then dip them in the batter and immediately put in the oil. You can cook 6 to 8 pieces at a time, depending on the size of your pan. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, no more. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve immediately, with lemon wedges and soy sauce if you like.

TEMPURA-FRIED GREEN BEANS WITH MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE



Tempura-Fried Green Beans With Mustard Dipping Sauce image

The recipe for these irresistible green beans came to The Times from Jimmy Bradley, the chef and owner of the Red Cat in Manhattan. He fries green beans in a tempura batter, then serves them - hot, crunchy, with plenty of salt - aside a sweet-and-spicy mustard sauce. You'll find them on the bar, eaten as meals in themselves, and at most tables running back through the room as appetizers or side dishes. They are Buffalo chicken wings for people with good art on the wall and a capacity for avoiding, as A.J. Liebling wrote, the fatal trap of abstinence. You simply can't eat just one.

Categories     easy, quick, one pot, appetizer

Time 25m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 egg whites
3 cups flour
2 3/4 cups club soda
About 6 cups canola oil, for frying
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 pound green beans, trimmed
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Whisk in the flour and club soda. Place the batter in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Pour the oil into a large pot so that it is at least a few inches deep. Heat to 350 degrees over a medium-high flame.
  • Meanwhile, combine the mustard, honey and soy and hot sauces in a small saucepan and set over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warm and thick, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Dip the trimmed beans into the batter, letting the excess run off. (A slotted spoon or spider is useful here.) Carefully lower them into the hot oil in small batches, so that they do not stick together. Fry until the batter is golden brown and the beans are bright green, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper-lined plate. Season with salt. Repeat until the beans are finished. Serve with a bowl of dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans and baby broccoli. Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when bent. Baby broccoli should be firm and have tight florets.
  • Trim the green beans and baby broccoli. Remove the tough ends of the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Trim the baby broccoli florets from the stems and cut them in half lengthwise.
  • Make sure the tempura batter is cold. This will help the batter stay light and crispy. You can chill the batter in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Dip the vegetables in the batter and fry them in hot oil until golden brown. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the vegetables will not cook evenly.
  • Drain the vegetables on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Spiced green beans and baby broccoli tempura is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. The tempura batter is light and crispy, and the vegetables are tender and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
