- Over medium heat heat 2 cups of coconut or vegetable oil in a deep, heavy bottomed pan or a wok. Wait until the oil reaches 375 °F.

- Add the sesame oil and the beer and stir until combined. Small flour 'chunks' are OK.
- Once the oil reaches 375 °F dip four green onions in the batter until completely covered and drop them in the oil.
- Fry for just over a minute, until you see that the batter begins to turn golden.
- Remove from the oil and set to drain over paper towels.
- Continue with the rest of the green onions, working in batches of 4.
- Serve while still hot and enjoy with your favorite beer.
