The original recipe calls for rice wine; I substituted rice wine vinegar.

Trim, wash and parboil beans for 2 minutes in rapidly boiling water. Drain
and rinse with cold water.

Heat sesame seeds in a dry frying pan over moderate heat. remove when
seeds begin to pop.

Combine the sugar, rice wine vinegar, white pepper, soy sauce, sesame oil

Put a wok on very high heat. When very hot, add oil, salt and then the
beans and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the seasoning mixture and stir-fry
for another minute. Add sesame seeds and blend well. Transfer to a heated
platter.
