Ingredients

Wasabi Cucumber Ranch Dip:
1/2 cup bottled ranch dressing Hidden Valley is best
1/4 cup cucumber peeled, seeded, minced
1 tablespoon milk
1 1/2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon wasabi powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Green Beans:
1 egg beaten
1 cup milk
4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
6 -8 ounces fresh green beans
1 cup flour
1 cup plain breadcrumbs or 1 cup seasoned dry bread crumb
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/9 teaspoon garlic powder
vegetable shortening for frying or vegetable oil

Directions

Combine the dip ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. Place in a bowl; cover and chill until ready to use. The dip will thicken as it chills.

Place the beans in the broth. Bring to a boil and cook 15 minutes, then place in cold water to stop the cooking process.

Mix the beaten egg with the milk in a shallow bowl.

Measure 1 cup of flour into another shallow bowl.

Combine the bread crumbs, 3/4 teaspoons salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder into a third bowl.

Take a handful of beans out of the water and shake off excess liquid. Coat the beans with the flour, shaking to remove excess flour.

Dip the beans, one at a time, into egg/milk mixture, then dip in breadcrumb mixture. Place the beans on a plate until all are coated.

Heat the shortening or oil to 350°F in a heavy skillet(or use a deep fryer). Use enough to cover the beans, about 1 1/2 inches.

Fry until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes.

Drain on paper towels.

To serve, place on a large platter and serve with the wasabi cucumber ranch dip.
