i've made this a couple of times, and tend to use it as more of a guideline. i can't figure out the fried peanuts...they always seem to taste quite burned. when i make the sauce, i just add the ingredients until a get a taste i like. the fried tempeh is delicious.

A bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise very nice. I will probably use a bit less ketchup next time.
