TEMPURA-FRIED GREEN BEANS WITH MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE
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.

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.

Steps:
- In a deep pot, heat 3 inches of oil over medium-high heat until it registers 360 degrees on a deep-frying thermometer.
- In a medium bowl, combine dill, beer, soy sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper. In another medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Carefully pour the beer mixture into the flour mixture, and stir until combined. Chill batter in refrigerator, about 20 minutes.

The cooking time will vary depending on the variety of fish. Drain on a clean paper towel-lined baking sheet, and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with lemon and lime wedges, tempura fries, and aioli.

Steps:
- Peel potatoes and slice lengthwise into 1/8-inch planks, then cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch juliennes (or use a Japanese mandoline fitted with the julienne blade). Immediately submerge in a bowl of cool water; let stand 10 minutes. Drain; lightly press potatoes between paper towels or clean kitchen towels to dry completely.
- Fill a heavy pot with about 1 1/2 inches oil (it should come no more than a third of the way up sides of pot). Heat over medium-high until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 365 degrees.
- Carefully add rosemary sprigs to oil and immediately cover pot with a splatter screen or lid for a few seconds to prevent splattering; remove screen when popping sounds subside. Fry until darkened slightly and bubbles surrounding sprigs begin to subside, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a paper towel-lined tray; season with salt.
- Return oil to 365 degrees and fry potatoes, a handful at a time, until crisp and just beginning to turn golden, about 2 minutes per batch (returning oil to 365 degrees between each batch). Transfer to paper towels; season with salt. Toss fries with rosemary to combine; serve.

Steps:
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel and cut potatoes into 3 1/2-by-1/2-inch pieces. Transfer pieces to a large bowl. Run potatoes under cold water until the water runs clear, about 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine panko and cornflakes; set aside.
- In a deep pot, heat 3 inches oil over medium-high heat until it reaches between 280 degrees and 300 degrees on a deep-frying thermometer. Drain potatoes in a colander. Pat dry with a kitchen towel. Add potatoes to hot oil in batches and fry for 2 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Transfer to a freezer until well chilled. Remove chilled potatoes from freezer and coat with beaten eggs and then panko mixture.
- Reheat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 360 degrees. Add potatoes in batches and fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a clean paper towel-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- To make the perfect tempura batter, use ice-cold water and mix it with the flour just until combined. Over-mixing will result in a tough batter.
- Use a variety of vegetables for your tempura. Some good choices include: broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, green beans, mushrooms, and sweet potatoes.
- To prevent the tempura from becoming soggy, make sure to drain it on paper towels before serving.
- Serve tempura with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include: tempura sauce, soy sauce, and ponzu sauce.
- For a healthier version of tempura, bake it in the oven instead of frying it.
Conclusion:
Marcus's Tempura Fries are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The tempura batter is light and crispy, and the vegetables are cooked to perfection. Whether you serve them as an appetizer or a main course, these fries are sure to be a hit.
