    Start by preparing your ingredients. Rinse the asparagus and green beans in cold water and pat them dry. Trim the ends of the asparagus and cut them into 2-inch pieces. For the green beans, remove the stem ends.

    2

    Finely chop the garlic cloves.

    3

    Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sesame oil and let it warm for about 30 seconds.

    4

    Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and stir-fry for approximately 30 seconds until fragrant, but be careful not to burn it.

    5

    Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3 minutes, allowing them to become tender but still crisp.

    6

    Next, add the green beans to the skillet and continue stir-frying for another 3-4 minutes until they are vibrant in color and crisp-tender.

    7

    Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle the black pepper over the vegetables, stirring well to combine all the flavors. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.

    8

    Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for an added crunch and flavor.
