In a saute pan or skillet, heat the olive oil and sesame oil over
medium-medium high heat.

Add green beans, stir to coat with oil.

Add all other ingredients, stir to coat beans well.

Continue to cook, stirring occasionally for 10-12 minutes. Be careful
not to burn. Green beans should be slightly firm but not crunchy.
