Ingredients:  
3 Tbsp sesame seeds
kosher salt
2 cups trimmed, halved green beans
1 Tbsp Japanese soy sauce
1 Tbsp mirin (sweet rice wine)
1 tsp granulated sugar
Directions:
Directions:
1. Put the sesame seeds in a small skillet, set it over medium heat, and toast, stirring and tossing frequently, until they're a few shades darker, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer them to a bowl to cool.

2. Pound the seeds in a mortar or buzz in a spice grinder until you have a slightly coarse powder. Set aside for now.

3. Bring a small pot of water to a boil and season it with about 1 tablespoon salt. Prepare a bowl of ice water.

4. Add the green beans to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until they're fully cooked but still have a slight crunch, about 3 minutes. Drain the beans, immediately transfer them to the ice water, and stir well. When the green beans are cool, drain and pat them dry.

5. Combine the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and reserved sesame powder in a bowl and stir to combine.

6. Add the green beans and stir to coat them well. Mound the green beans on a plate and serve.
