Heat frying pan to high heat and add sesame oil and toss in beans.

Turn heat down to medium and cook beans just until tender, tossing often for 3-4 minutes.

Add onion and toss for 30 seconds.

Add garlic and stir in sauce and cook until thickened and glossy- around 30 seconds.

Add a few red pepper flakes here for a spicy kick. Plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds if you like.
