- Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add sesame oil and garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or until garlic is fragrant.
- Immediately add green beans, stirring frequently until beans are slightly golden brown, about 5-8 minutes.
- While the beans are cooking, make the sauce.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add all of the sauce ingredients and whisk to combine.
- Once the green beans are cooked and slightly golden and al dente, reduce heat to low and pour sauce over the beans.
- Stir to coat the beans, then cover and simmer for a few minutes to allow the beans to continue cooking.
- Taste and add more salt, if necessary.
- Garnish with sliced green onion, sesame seeds and roasted peanuts.
