1 pound green beans — trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths

Place the green beans in a steamer basket and set in a saucepan over 1 inch of boiling water. Cover and steam until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes; drain.

Spray a nonstick wok or skillet with nonstick spray and set over high heat. Add the green beans and garlic. Stir-fry the beans 2 minutes; add the soy sauce mixture and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the bamboo shoots and drizzle with the sesame oil. Serve at once.
