Ingredients:

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2 pounds green beans trimmed and rinsed
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 - 4 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon garlic chili sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons mirin wine
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
sesame seeds optional

Instructions

Heat oil in a wok or other large skillet over medium high heat. Cook green beans 5 - 7 minutes or until the beans start to crisp slightly. Transfer to a plate.
In the same pan that you cooked the beans in stir in remaining ingredients except sesame seds. Cook for 30 seconds. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Return beans to the pan and continue cooking 3 - 4 minutes or until the beans have softened slightly but are still crisp.
Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired and serve hot.

It's important to watch the garlic closely as it can burn quickly.
