    LOVED these green beans! I've been trying to find a recipe that is similar to the green beans they serve in one of my favorite restaurants and THIS is the one! They are wonderful I used black sesame seeds and some fresh ginger, and cooked over a medium high heat for a few minutes and then covered and let them cook about 2 more minutes. They were perfectly crunchy and highly seasoned! ZWT4 family picks

    A delicious and quick fix for fresh green beans. The seasame seeds were toasted in the skillet first and set aside until the beans were done. I did use less sesame seeds that the recipe called for, more as a garnish. The cooking method produces a tender crisp vegetable with a deep dark green color. A true keeper recipe.

    As I thought I would, I loved these beans. Hey Jude is right--the browned parts are delish. This was a really easy dish to prepare. I did find that I needed to add a little extra soy sauce for flavor, and I cut back a bit on the sesame seeds by personal preference. Thanks for a delicious new way to prepare green beans.
