Step 1

Set a pot of water to boil. When boiling, blanch the green beans for about 1-2 minutes to brighten the beans.

Step 2

Remove from the hot water and immerse in cold water immediately to stop the cooking process (you still want the beans to be crispy). Pat dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

In a pan over medium high heat, heat the oil. Sauté the green beans in the oil and add the seasonings plus the parmesan cheese. Sauté for 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the sesame seeds and toss in pan then remove from heat. Serve immediately.
