But I think beyond that I am having a very hard time finding sauces besides peanut butter (which always works) that absorb traditionally "flavorless" foods.  What can I use besides peanut butter that will work? Oh, and I always use as a base, low-sodium soy sauce, curry powder, and hot pepper flakes (a good combo for my taste).  So yeah why do neutral veggies and tofu ONLY seem to absorb peanut butter? I love peanut butter but I'm getting sick of it!

 If you want to step away from the Asian flavors, this is my go-to topping for cooked or raw veggies/ dishes with grains, ...
•	1 cup Tahini paste
•	2 cloves garlic (or to taste)
•	1 handful fresh Cilantro
•	1tbsp maple syrup
•	2 tbsp tamari, or soy sauce
•	Juice and zest of 1 lemon
•	1/2  c water (more or less to thin/thicken to desired consistency)
Blend well.  Store in a jar in fridge for up to 10 days
