Bean vegetables with an exotic touch

Toast the sesame seeds without fat until lightly browned. Remove from the pan. Sauté the garlic in oil, add the beans and a little water (I use frozen/precooked beans; if using raw beans, you’ll obviously need to allow for a longer preparation time). Simmer gently until the beans are tender. Season with salt, pepper, and a little vegetable stock, if desired. Add a dash of fish sauce. Caution: The sauce is very intense! Two dashes are enough, I think. Serve warm as a side dish or as an appetizer.
