Recipe - String Bean Salad With Double Sesame Dressing

1 tablespoon Unhulled sesame seeds
1 One half pound Green beans
3 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
3 tablespoon Light soy sauce
2 tablespoon Spicy mustard sauce (mustard
sauce from a Chinese
restaurant works fine)
2 teaspoon Sugar
3 tablespoon Oriental sesame oil
1 teaspoon Minced garlic
One fourth cup Finely chopped scallions
white and green parts
One half cup Finely chopped red sweet
peppers and yellow
Holland peppers

Place wok or nonstick pan over high heat for about 1 minute, or until
it smokes. Add the sesame seeds. Turn the heat to low, and dry cook
for 35 minutes, or until brown. Empty onto a flat plate.

Steam the string beans 35 minutes, or until they have softened but
still have some crunch. Remove and plunge them into a bowl of
icecold water. Drain, dry, remove stems ends and place in large bowl.

To make dressing, mix the vinegar, soy sauce, mustard sauce, sugar and
sesame oil. When thick, add the garlic, scallions, and red and yellow
peppers. Add to string beans and mix well. Sprinkle with toasted
sesame seeds.
