Trim the ends off the green beans and wash them thoroughly.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
While the beans are cooking, prepare a bowl of ice water. Once cooked, immediately transfer the green beans into the ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
In a dry skillet, toast the walnuts over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
In a food processor or blender, combine the toasted walnuts, miso paste, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), sesame oil, and water. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding a small amount of water to thin it out to your desired consistency.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked and chilled green beans with the walnut miso sauce until evenly coated.
Transfer the green beans to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish if desired.
Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to serve. Enjoy!
