2 Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Add garlic, onion, and Madame Jeanette pepper. Stir-fry one minute.
3 Add yard-long beans and stir-fry five minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
4 Add dried shrimp, tomato, and soy sauce. Toss everything together and cook two more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Did You Know?

Kousenband literally means "stocking band" in Dutch, named for the resemblance of the long beans to the bands used to hold up stockings.
