1
Prepare the Green Beans
Wash the fresh green beans under cold running water. Trim the ends of the green beans by snapping them off or using a knife.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them using a knife or garlic press.

3
Sauté the Green Beans
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the prepared green beans and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they start to become tender but still crisp.
4
Add Garlic and Seasonings
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning. Then, pour in the soy sauce, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients.

5
Add Garnish
Once the green beans are cooked to your desired tenderness, remove from heat. Sprinkle sesame seeds and red pepper flakes on top before serving.
