Sesame green beans

1 pound fresh green beans
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

heat 1 inch water to boiling in a 2 quart sauce pan. Add beans. Boil uncovered 5 mins. Cover and boil about 5 minutes longer or until tender crisp.

While beans are cooking, heat seame seeds in a small skillet about 2 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stir constantly until golden brown. Stir in remaining ingredient: heat through. (The longer you leave the crushed red peppers on the heat the spicer they get.) (leave them out if you don't like spicy/hot foods.) ( this only takes about 5 mins)

Drain beans. pour sauce over beans, tossing until evenly coated.
