In a heavy skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until very hot. Add tempeh and cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until crisped and golden brown. Set aside on a plate layered with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and set aside.
In same hot pan, add wine and stir to scrape up any bits of browned tempeh. Add soup base and mix well. Stir a tablespoon or two of pan liquid into mustard mixture and then add entire mustard mixture to pan. Stir well and continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until slightly reduced. Remove from heat, add honey, salt and pepper to taste and mix well.
