There are several types of green beans available in the market such as regular green beans, French green beans, snow peas, and baby green beans. Each type of green bean has a delicious taste and good nutritional content. According to healthline.com, green beans contain vitamins, folic acid, and fiber that are beneficial for health.
Various recipes for processed beans can be found on social media and recipe books. Processing beans can be in the form of soup or stir-fry vegetables. In addition to being processed into vegetables, beans can also be created into delicious fried foods.
Making fried beans uses flour dough to produce a crispy texture. However, many people still make mistakes in the process of making it, resulting in hard and non-crispy fried beans. A netizen named Bagja shared the right way to make perfect fried beans.
"These crispy fried green beans taste really crispy on the outside," said Bagja, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Bagja Vlog, Tuesday (29/10).
First, make the wet flour mixture first. Prepare a large bowl, then add 8 tablespoons of wheat flour, 3 tablespoons of rice flour, 1 tablespoon of broth seasoning, salt to taste, 1/2 teaspoon of finely ground garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 120 ml of water, and 1 chicken egg. Stir all the wet dough ingredients until smooth.
Once smooth, mix the wet mixture with 100 grams of crushed ice cubes. These ice cubes are said to be effective in helping the mixture become crispier, last longer, and not hard after being fried. According to a journal published on the sciencedirect.com page, cold dough does not easily absorb a lot of oil, so automatically after being fried the dough will be much crispier.

When the wet dough is ready, continue to prepare the beans. The beans can be washed, cleaned, and cut into pieces first. Now, when the beans are still a bit wet, you can immediately coat them with flour. The way to do this is by shaking them in a jar filled with flour so that it sticks quickly to the beans.

Next, heat the oil in a frying pan. You can use enough oil so that the beans can be completely submerged in the oil when fried later. When the oil is hot, the beans can be dipped directly into the wet batter, then fried in the hot oil. The owner of the YouTube account Bagja Vlog explains that it is better not to fry the beans until they are completely cooked.
"We fry it until it is 80 percent done, because we will fry it twice," he said.

When the fried beans are 80 percent cooked, the beans can be drained and left for five minutes. After being left, the beans can be fried again until the color of the flour mixture looks brown. Well, by frying up to two processes like this, the beans automatically have a long-lasting crispy texture and are not hard when bitten.
