Tips

  • Don't overcook: Keep the green beans slightly crisp for the best texture.
  • Dry thoroughly: Remove excess water to prevent the dressing from becoming watery.
  • Boost the flavor: Freshly ground toasted sesame seeds give the best aroma and flavor.

Substitutions

  • Green beans: Frozen green beans work well. Adjust the cooking time as needed.
  • Ground white sesame seeds: Use toasted black sesame seeds for a stronger, nuttier flavor.
