Heat canola oil in a 12" skillet over medium-high heat. Add green onions, garlic and ginger; cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic begins to brown, about 1 minute. Add water chestnuts, red pepper flakes and the beans and cook until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, add soy sauce and sesame oil, toss and serve.
