Preparation

Step 1

1) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and coat a large jelly-roll pan with the vegetable oil; set aside

2) In a large bowl, combine the flour with 1/8 tsp. of the salt. Add the green beans and toss to coat.

3) In a shallow dish, mix half the bread crumbs with half of the remaining salt. Place the eggs in another shallow dish. A few at a time, submerge the green beans in the eggs to cover then roll in bread crumbs to coat. Add the remaining crumbs and salt to the breading dish (breading in two batches keeps crumbs from getting too soggy.)

4) Arrange beans on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and drizzle with sesame oil. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
