In a large sauté pan or cast iron skillet over high heat, add oil and green beans.
Toss in oil to coat the beans, then leave them to char for 4-5 minutes per side, flipping in between sides.
While the beans are cooking, combine garlic, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, sambal oelek, and maple syrup in a small bowl.
Once the beans are cooked to your liking, remove them from the heat. Wait 2-3 minutes for the pan to cool slightly, then pour the sauce over and toss to combine. The sauce should coat the beans nicely from the residual heat.
When the beans are coated, return the pan to high heat for 1 minute and sprinkle over sesame seeds, stirring frequently so they don’t burn.
Turn the heat off and squeeze the lime juice over the beans. Serve immediately.
