   1      pound         slender green beans -- ends trimmed
   1      tablespoon    sesame seeds
   2      tablespoons   hoisin sauce
   1      tablespoon    soy sauce
   1 1/2  teaspoons     chili-garlic sauce

Cook green beans in large pot of boiling salted water until
crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.  Drain green beans well.

Stir sesame seeds in large nonstick skillet over high heat until
golden, about 1 minute.  Transfer seeds to small bowl.  Add hoisin
sauce, soy sauce and chili-garlic sauce to skillet.  Stir water and
cornstarch in small bowl until cornstarch dissolves; stir into

about 2 minutes.  Mix in green onions.  Transfer to shallow bowl.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
