Looks delish.
Anything you could substitute for the tempeh? It's not available here.
And the other question: is sweet soy sauce ketcap manis?

Yes, kecap manis is sweet soy sauce.
Tempeh can be replaced by firm tofu.

You could leave out the tempeh.
Tempeh is delicious though

I already mentioned that in the recipe. So I supposed karadekoolaid wants to replace it. The original is without any tempeh or tofu at all as you know

Was going to ask as I picked up loads!

Re sambal of preference - I know it's Thai, but what about nam prik pao?

Can’t help there, I'm part Indonesian so I always use Indonesian sambal and don't know much about Thai sambal. Maybe karadekoolaid does.

Which would you reach for when making this?

I used sambal brandal today, for a sweeter touch I would recommend sambal badjak.

First time I tasted nam prik pao I thought it was mild sambal badjak.
So yes, you can use it. You might need to spice it up a bit according to your taste buds

My bad ...
I saw you wrote that and then I forgot

Nam prik pao is also a bit sweeter, so I would reduce the sugar in the recipe a bit
