Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Cook the green beans in a pot of boiling salted water until JUST crisp-tender (about 3 minutes) plunge into an ice water bath to cool completely.
  2. Drain well and pat the beans dry using paper towels.
  3. Heat sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat; add in garlic and chili flakes (if using) stir-fry 1 minute.
  4. Add in beans and stir-fry for about 2 minutes.
  5. Add in soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar and black pepper; cook until the sauce reduces slightly and coats the beans (about 1-1/2-2 minutes longer).
  6. If you want a thick sauce mix a small amount of cornstarch with a small amount of cold water and add in towards the end.
  7. Add in the almonds or sesame seeds; toss to coat and transfer to a bowl.
