Add the oil to the saucepan and heat over medium heat. Add the diced veggies and sauté for about 5 minutes. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.
Add in the two cans of black soy beans (do not drain or rinse). Mix in the seasonings and then add the bay leaves.
Allow the mixture to simmer over low heat for as long as possible to develop the flavors (I like a solid 30-45 minutes if possible).
Before serving, remove the bay leaves and stir in the vinegar. Serve over your favorite rice substitute (if low carb), see the post above for tips on cooking cauliflower rice!
