I discovered this dish at my mother-in-law's house during a family holiday buffet. Her being Japanese, she had many friends who brought wonderful Japanese dishes, and this was and has remained one of my favorites. It's light and fresh any time of the year.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Warm a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

When the skillet is hot, pour in canola and sesame oils, then place whole green beans into the skillet.

Stir the beans to coat with oil.

Cook until the beans are bright green and slightly browned in spots, about 10 minutes.

Remove from heat, and stir in soy sauce; cover, and let sit about 5 minutes.

Transfer to a serving platter, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
