1. Prepare green beans by snapping or trimming off stalky ends.  Place in a colander and rinse well.   Return green beans to a cutting board and cut or snap in half to create bite-sized pieces.  Green beans are now ready to cook.

2. Next heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in large skillet or wok on medium-high heat.  When the oil is hot, add the green beans, stirring frequently to cook beans evenly for about 3 minutes.

3. Add in sesame seeds and salt and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes.

Note: Get your kids involved.  Have fun with your family and let your children help you snap the green bean ends off.
