Ingredients
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
3 tablespoons Frank's® RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon Asian sesame oil

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into very thin strips
  Lettuce (optional)
   
Prep 10 minutes
Cook 6 minutes
1. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sesame seeds. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until golden; shaking skillet often. Transfer to small bowl. Whisk in Frank's RedHot Sauce, olive oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlics and sesame oil; set aside.
2. Bring 1 cup water to a boil in large saucepan over high heat. Place green beans and salt in steamer basket; set into saucepan. Do not let water touch beans. Cover; steam 5 to 6 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender. Rinse with cold water; drain well.
3. Combine beans and bell pepper in large bowl. Pour sesame dressing over vegetables; toss to coat evenly. Cover; refrigerate 1 hour. Toss just before serving. Serve on lettuce-lined plates, if desired.
 
Tip   For a Buffalo Basting Sauce, combine 1/2 cup Frank's® Redhot® Sauce with 1/3 cup melted butter. Use to baste grilled vegetables or shrimp. Drizzle with blue cheese or ranch dressing.
