Ingredients

1 (8 -10 ounce) package tempeh
2 garlic cloves, minced (or put through press)
2 onions, slices
2 bay leaves
4 thin slices ginger
1 whole clove
1/4 teaspoon chipotle pepper, pureed (or a few drops liquid smoke)
2 tablespoons molasses
1 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup soy sauce (thin, not thick)

Steps:

Slice the tempeh crosswise into thin strips.
Combine the remaining ingredients in a small skillet. Bring to a boil and add the tempeh. Simmer slowly, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove the lid, and continue cooking until all liquid has been absorbed.
At this point the tempeh will begin to fry in the oil. Cook until nicely glazed and browned, about 5 minutes.
Enjoy!
