These green beans get their flavor not only from sesame seeds but also from the toasted sesame oil, which if you haven't tried it is totally worth it. They also have a hint of sweetness from the honey. Great recipe!

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

What an easy and tasty green bean recipe. Very good flavor from the ginger, hot pepper flakes, and toasted sesame seeds.
