Place the white sesame seeds in a small frying pan over medium heat; cook, shaking the pan frequently, until the seeds are lightly browned, 3-4 minutes. Immediately remove from the pan to cool.
Place the sesame seeds in a blender and process until well ground.
Add the remaining dressing ingredients and process until smooth.
Remove and discard the ends and strings from the beans. Cut diagonally into 2 pieces.
In a pot, bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the oil and salt. Add the beans and cook until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes.
Drain, rinse with cold running water, and drain again. Refrigerate in a bowl until chilled.
Just before serving, pour the dressing over the beans and toss to coat. Garnish with black sesame seeds and chopped Jalapeno.
