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!

You might try some sesame oil, (just a little goes a long way,) and nori, along with your usual base. You also might experiment with juice and zest to make a fruity sauce. Flavored oil, flavored tahini or hummus, might be additional things to explore.

Thanks very much, Liam. All of those are foods/flavors I find super tasty! Great ideas!
