Start by giving your fresh green beans a good rinse. Trim the ends to keep them neat.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, granulated sugar or honey, cornstarch, and water. Give it a quick whisk.
Grab a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the toasted sesame oil. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger.
Now, add the freshly prepared green beans to the skillet. Stir them around, letting them absorb all that garlicky goodness.
Once the green beans have reached that perfect texture, pour your prepared sauce over them. Stir to coat all the beans evenly.
Before serving, add the crushed red pepper flakes to the mixture. Finish off with the sesame seeds.
