PANKO FRIED GREEN TOMATOES
Panko bread crumbs have a coarser texture than ordinary bread crumbs, which you can also use to coat the tomatoes. However, the panko crumbs will give them a uniquely light and crispy texture. -Jacquelynne Stine, Las Vegas, Nevada

Steps:
- Put at least 2 inches oil in a large, deep pot over medium-high heat; bring to 350 degrees (or use an electric deep-fryer). Combine the flour with 2 cups cold water; the mixture should have the consistency of thin pancake batter.
- Powder the panko by forcing it through a strainer with a spatula or pulverizing it in a blender or food processor. Dredge the vegetables first in flour, then in the tempura batter and finally in the powdered panko. Fry the vegetables in the hot oil, working in batches and turning each piece as necessary, until crisp and brown all over, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: Vegetables that hold their shape well, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots, are good choices for panko frying. Avoid vegetables that are too soft or delicate, such as tomatoes or leafy greens.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too small, they will overcook quickly. If they are too large, they will take too long to cook and may not get crispy.
- Coat the vegetables in a light layer of flour: This will help the panko crumbs adhere to the vegetables.
- Use a light hand when coating the vegetables in panko crumbs: Too much panko will make the vegetables heavy and greasy.
- Fry the vegetables in hot oil: This will help them get crispy quickly. If the oil is not hot enough, the vegetables will absorb too much oil and become soggy.
- Drain the vegetables on paper towels: This will help remove any excess oil.
- Serve the vegetables immediately: Panko-fried vegetables are best served hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Panko-fried vegetables are a delicious and easy way to enjoy your favorite vegetables. With a crispy panko coating and a tender interior, they are sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish or snack, give panko-fried vegetables a try.
