# Directions:

In a small bowl, whisk together the miso, soy sauce, maple syrup and sesame oil.

Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.

Add the sauce and sesame seeds, tossing to coat the green beans evenly. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

For soy sauce alternatives, consider tamari or coconut aminos
