Steam green beans for about 10 mins. When the beans are cooked through but still crisp, place in a serving bowl. Toss all other ingredients and serve. Just that easy... Enjoy!
I highly recommend the Braggs Liquid Amino Acids, taste just like soy sauce, but with way less sodium, give them a try!

My hubby, who is not a big fan of any veggie that isn't a potato, loved these! I wound up steaming in the micro in a ziploc steam bag, then throwing the ingredients in and giving it a shake. I, too, didn't have fresh ginger and used ground..rather than use butter, I used sesame oil. very good! - 3/30/10

Delicious and easy to make. I used fresh green beans in a steamable bag so took even less time to make. My husband even commented how good they were. - 3/5/19

This was great. Did it with canned green beans instead of fresh, but came out amazing. Went really well with steak, mushrooms, and onions. - 9/24/11

This was delicious. Extremely easy and nice change from the typical pace, and I didn't even bother with the butter. t's great cold as well. I just spread the sesame seeds in some foil in my toaster oven to toast them. - 4/2/11

These were good, but next time I will definitely leave out the salt. It was too salty for my taste with both the salt and soy sauce. - 1/21/14
