Crispy Green Bean Fries With Wasabi Cucumber Ranch Dip

• Dip
• 1/2 cup bottled ranch dressing (I used Hidden Valley)
• 1/4 cup cucumbers, peeled, seeded, minced
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
• 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon wasabi powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• Pinch cayenne pepper
• For the beans
• 1 egg beaten
• 1 cup of milk
• 4 cups of vegetable broth or chicken broth
• 6 to 8 ounces of fresh green beans
• 1 cup of flour
• 1 cup plain breadcrumbs or seasoned dry bread crumbs
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• Oil for frying (I use canola)

1. To prepare the dip:
2. Combine dip ingredients in blender. Blend until smooth. Place in a bowl: cover and chill till ready to use. Dip will thicken as it chills.
3. To prepare the beans:
4. Place beans in broth. Bring to a boil and cook 15 minutes, then drain and place in cold water to stop cooking process.
5. Mix beaten egg with milk in a shallow bowl. Measure 1 cup of flour into another shallow bowl. Combine bread crumbs, 3/4 teaspoon salt, black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder into a third bowl.
6. 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.
7. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Use enough to cover the beans. Fry until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
