Ingredients

    - 2 Cups of Fresh Green Beans (whole or already trimmed)
    - 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
    - 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
    - 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
    - 2 Tablespoons toasted Sesame Seeds (untoasted is fine too)
    - Coarse Salt to taste

Directions

- Steam or boil green beans for about 2 minutes (still crisp.)

- Drain the beans in a colander.

- Heat a wok or large pan over high heat.

- Pour or spray a small amount of vegetable oil and spread around the pan.

- Add the sesame oil and crushed red pepper flakes to the pan. Don't worry if the pan smokes. That's normal.

- If sesame seeds are not already toasted, add them to the wok or pan at this time.

- Add beans to the pan/wok and stir fry for several minutes.

- Sprinkle sesame seeds (if not already added) and course salt over the beans, stir, and serve.

* Sesame seeds don't have to be toasted, but it's a nice touch.
