Number Of Ingredients 24

8 tablespoons soy sauce (use shoyu if possible)
4 tablespoons low salt creole seasoning
1 inch piece fresh ginger, sliced 1/2-inch thick
2 garlic cloves, sliced
2 one inch pieces kombu seaweed
2 (8 ounce) packages tempeh
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
sea salt
4 tablespoons vegetable oil (more if needed)
2 cups onions, chopped
1 cup bell pepper, chopped (your choice of color)
1 cup celery, chopped
2 cups fresh tomatoes, seeded, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
5 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 cup dry red wine
fresh ground black pepper
ground cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the soy sauce, 2 tbls. Creole seasoning, ginger, garlic, kombu, and 6 cups of water in a large pot and bring to a boil.
