slices

1 Tbs. sesame seeds

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. dark sesame oil

3. Add beans, sesame seeds and salt to wok. Stir-fry,

pressing beans against sides until charred in a few

places, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer beans to serving

bowl.

garlic to pan. Stir-fry until heated through, then add

to beans and toss to combine. Season to taste with

freshly ground pepper. Serve hot or at room
