2 tbsp. peanut oil
1 tbsp. sesame seeds
1 lb. fresh string beans, trimmed
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 c. chicken broth or water
Few dashes sesame oil
1 tsp. soy sauce or teriyaki

1. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of peanut oil in a wok or a frying pan. Over medium heat, cook sesame seeds, stirring constantly until seeds are golden. Remove and set aside.

2. Increase heat to high. When pan or wok is hot, add remaining oil. When oil ripples, add string beans and garlic and stir fry for 1 minute. Add chicken broth or water, lower heat, cover and cook until string beans are crisp tender. Return sesame seeds to pans along with a few drops of sesame oil and soy sauce. Mix well. Makes 4 servings.
