These Garlic Sesame Green Beans not only taste better than the restaurant's, but they also remain super crisp and keep their beautiful vibrant green color!
Steam the green beans until they turn a beautiful vibrant green but are still slightly undercooked, about 2 to 3 minutes. As soon as the beans are cooked to your liking, plunge them in a bath of icy cold water to stop cooking and fix their color.
Once the beans are cold, drain them and leave them in the colander so they have a chance to drip and air dry.
Meanwhile, combine the rest of the ingredients, except for sesame seeds, in a glass measuring cup and mix vigorously with a fork or flat whisk until well combined.
Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat and then pour that sauce right into it; let the sauce cook on its own for about 30 seconds, then add the green beans and saute them until they are cooked to your liking, about 5 minutes.
