Ingredients:

2 cups Japgok-Bap Bayou Medley
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cooking onion (sliced)
1 cup celery (diced)
2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)

Stir in the okra and cook for 2 or 3 minutes longer.
Add the cayenne, cumin, and season with salt and pepper.
Drain the Japgok-Bap Bayou Medley and add to the pot.
Add the tomato paste and stir to coat the ingredients.
Add the chopped tomatoes and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, adding water if necessary.
Garnish with coriander and serve.
