   Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt.

   Whisk the sugar into the mirin until it is dissolved; stir in the sesame seeds and miso until well combined.

   Toss with the green beans until well coated, then serve or let stand for up to an hour before serving.

6. 6

   Substitute 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon honey for the miso.
