The sauce in this recipe is inspired by what you'd find brushed on grilled foods by street vendors in the Philippines. It's sweet, smoky, and perfect for grilling tempeh. You could smother the sauce on anything that has that "meaty" texture — tofu, mushrooms, seitan, etc, and serve with your favorite starch and favorite salad for a well-balanced meal.

Although she doesn't consume animal products anymore, she didn't want to give up on the food that she loved so much as a kid so she launched her own blog.
