I just made the Beer -battered Green Bean Fries (recipe somewhere on Google) today since it was easier (ingredients availability & time) to make. It was really good too! Almost taste the same as TGI's. I just used regular Ranch dressing for dip (mixed w/ 2 tsp of lemon juice). I haven't tried this recipe by sharon123 but will try it when I have the ingredients & time. I am sure trying different recipes of this-is a treat!

I was really excited to make these. The green beans are close to how Fridays makes them but I still think there needs to be some tweaking to the recipe. The wasabi sauce didnt taste like what Fridays serves. It just tasted like a kicked up ranch. It didnt ever thicken up in the fridge and it stayed runny for me. It was still good tho. I also got this recipe from top secret recipes and I would say Id give this 3 stars for authenticity and 4 stars for being a good fried green bean recipe.

As is I give it a three. I suggest useing the classic Hidden valley ranch packet mixed as directed. instead of the bottled stuff. not adding the vinegar. and doubleing the cayenne. this way tastes so much closer to the TGIF orriginal. I also steamed the greenbeans and used half seasoned bread crumbs and half Panko bread. It turned out so much better then when I tryed it as posted.

I had trouble getting the breadcrumbs to stick using the flour and egg wash, but I used some tempura batter I had and the fries turn out great! My boyfriend loved it!!
