(Goma Ae)
This crisp and nutty salad makes a terrific part of the bento box. Look for toasted (not raw) sesame seeds in the sushi or Asian section of the grocery store.

- 10 oz green beans, trimmed
- 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Japanese soy sauce, (such as Kikkoman)
- 1 pinch salt
Preparation
In saucepan of boiling water, blanch green beans for 2 minutes. Drain and refresh in ice water; drain again.
In spice grinder or using mortar and pestle, coarsely grind sesame seeds; transfer to bowl. Mix in sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce and salt to form paste. Stir in beans to coat. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 24 hours.)
