Method
First toast the sesame seeds.
Place a small saucepan over a medium heat to warm through, then add the sesame seeds. Shake and keep them on the move until they have turned golden and begin to splutter - about a minute. Then remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool. After that, add the rest of the sauce ingredients, return the pan to the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. All this can be done well in advance, then, when you are ready to cook the beans, steam them over simmering water for about 6 minutes or until tender, then toss them quickly in the sauce just before serving.
