Cut off the ends of the green beans, rinse off the beans and pat dry. Toss the beans in the flour mixture to coat. Remove them to a plate, and combine the remaining flour mixture with the panko crumbs.

When you're ready to fry, heat 1/2 inch of canola oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When a bit of flour sizzles in the pan, the oil is hot enough. Fry the beans in a single layer (don't crowd the pan-fry them in batches if needed), turning to brown evenly (this takes only a few minutes). When done, remove them to a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the rest of the beans if frying in batches.

Serve with your preferred dipping sauce. I made one of equal parts chili sauce and sweet and sour sauce. Or serve plain (they're that good!)
