      Directions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Wash hands with soap and water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Rinse beans with cool running water. If the beans are long, cut them in half. Sprinkle with salt. Steam for 3 minutes or microwave for about 1 minute. They should still be a little crisp. Spread on a plate and set aside to cool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients for the sesame sauce. (sesame seeds, water, rice vinegar, soy sauce, mirin, toasted sesame oil) Stir together until smooth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Add the sesame sauce and toss all together. Serve at room temperature or chilled. You can keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n
