This sesame carrots and green beans stir fry has been in my head for quite some time before I actually cooked it for the first time. I wanted it with an Asian flavor to it that tastes well hot and cold. The leftovers are a perfect cold salad with that dressing. It serves very well as a side dish to grilled fish or poultry. I often like to eat it in double or triple portions without anything else, just a huge portion of veggies. Just the right thing for hot summer lunches.

Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
Steam carrots and beans for 2-3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
In a small bowl, combine vinegar, soy sauce, honey, salt, pepper with 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Put a wok on very high heat. Once it’s hot, add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Stir in the beans and carrots and stir-fry for about 1 minute. Add the seasoning mixture and stir-fry for another 1 minute. Take off the heat. Stir in the toasted sesame seeds. Transfer to serving dish. Serve immediately.
