Sesame Green Beans

1 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed, or 1 12-ounce package frozen
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds 

Cook beans in boiling water until slightly firm but not crisp; drain. Heat oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add the beans, and toss gently. Remove from heat. In a small pan, toast sesame seeds over medium heat for about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning. When you can smell the seeds, they are almost done. Place the beans on a serving platter and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds.
Makes 4 servings.
