Sticky Sesame Green Beans

I found this Sticky Sesame Green Beans recipe in a newsletter from Dawn Jackson Blatner RD, a nutritionist/dietitian in Chicago.  I'm continuously cooking green beans with slivered almonds and lemon a 'la Bethenny Frankel recipe. Might be a good time to switch things up and try another way!

1 tbs sesame oil
1 tbs minced garlic
1 tbs grated fresh ginger
 1 tbs hoisin sauce
1 tbs honey
2 green onions, chopped
1 lbs. green beans
