Way, way way too much oil - and I have no qualms about adding oil to my food. The overwhelming amount of oil nearly wrecks the dish, and using extra virgin olive oil (which shouldn't be heated anyway) with sesame seeds makes no sense. The oil also makes the sesame seeds splatter messily out of the pan when you add the beans. I enjoyed the sesame flavor - though it was almost unnoticeable and would make it again with the following modifications to make it less greasy and add more sesame flavor: Simply toasting the sesame seeds briefly in a dry pan or with less than a teaspoon of canola. Then I'd remove the sesame seeds from the hot pan, put the green beans in, and return the seeds to the pan. Follow the rest of the directions as written, and at the end of cooking time add a teaspoon or so of sesame oil to bring out the sesame flavor.
