Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, red pepper flakes, and 2 tablespoons of water until the sugar dissolves. Combine the green beans with the sugar-soy mixture in a large skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cover and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 9 minutes, until the beans are crisp-tender.

Remove the lid and add the ginger and vinegar. Continue cooking, stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats the beans and the beans are tender, another 5-7 minutes.
Drizzle with sesame oil and toss well. Serve the beans warm.
