Tips:

  • Choose fresh green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and crisp. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans: Cut off the ends of the beans, where the stem was attached.
  • Blanch the green beans: This will help to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the honey-orange sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the honey, orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, and ginger. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Toss the green beans with the sauce: In a large bowl, combine the blanched green beans, honey-orange sauce, and sesame seeds. Toss to coat.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature: These green beans are best served warm or at room temperature. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
