Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Once hot, add canola and sesame oils. Add the whole green beans and stir to coat them with the oil. Cook until the beans turn bright green and develop slight browning, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in soy sauce, cover, and let sit for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
