1/2 cup wakame seaweed
1/4 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper (cayenne powder or any hot sauce)

Soak seaweeds in hot water or veggie broth and set aside.
In small amount of water or veggie broth, saute okra, onion, pepper and garlic over medium heat until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Make a roux with the flour and oil by blending until well mixed and cooking over a medium heat until brown (but not black), about 10 minutes.
