Sesame Green beans

Here goes my very first post! (I don't use the onions, therefore I only use a tiny bit of oil. I also don't use the sesame seeds often but it looks pretty)
2 lbs fresh green beans, ends trimmed off
2/3 cup finely chopped onion
3 Tbsp. canola oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. sesame seeds, toasted
-Place beans in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cover and cook 4-7 minutes or until crisp tender. Drain and immediately place beans in ice water. Drain and pat dry.
-In a large skillet, saute beans and onion in oil until onion is tender. Add garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Stir in soy sauce and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

**WE LOVE THESE!! I made them every day for a week! I could eat them every day but I don't want to make Matt sick of them. I halve the recipe, unless I'm making them for a family, then I do the whole recipe and have some left over for us!
