Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix mayo and wasabi paste until combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Heat 1-2 inches of oil in a large heavy bottomed pot (I use my dutch oven), over MED heat until it reaches 375 F degrees.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and top with a cooling rack. Set aside, close to your frying pot.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together beer, flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Dredge green beans in 1/2 cup flour, shaking off excess, then dip green beans in beer batter. Let excess batter drip off, then fry in batches, a few minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Remove green beans to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining green beans.

Steps:
- Preheat a deep fryer to 300 degrees F, or in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 300 degrees F.
- In a bowl, mix the tempura mix and the beer. In a separate bowl, mix the string beans, heavy cream, flour, and salt. Add the bean mixture to the tempura mixture and coat the beans well. Lift the coated beans out of the batter, allow the excess batter to drip back into the bowl, and add the beans to the fryer and fry, in batches, until light golden brown. Drain the beans on paper towels, and serve immediately.
