Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste

• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions
Get the green beans ready: Rinse the green beans and cut the ends. To help make sure they cook evenly, gently wipe them dry.
Warm up the olive oil: Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Be cautious not to let it burn when you add the minced garlic and sauté it for one to two minutes until it becomes aromatic.
The green beans are sautéed. Coat the green beans with the olive oil and garlic by adding them to the pan and stirring. Adjust the amount of sea salt to taste. The green beans should be tender-crisp after 7 to 10 minutes of sautéing, with occasional tossing.
Pour in the sesame oil: Over the green beans, drizzle the sesame oil and toss to mix. To let the sesame oil infuse, cook for a further one to two minutes.

Serve: Spoon the green beans onto a platter and savor them warm.
