Ok so I have this wonderful little recipe, it has potential but I'm missing an ingredient. It's a vegetable and noodles stir fry.

>Noodles
Boiled with fish oil, ginger syrup and light rice wine vinegar
>Vegetables
Finely chopped leek, bok choy, bean sprouts, red onion with peanut oil

Now I just can't find a motherfucking sauce for the veggies. I've tried so many fucking things, sweet chili sauce, five spice sauce, oyster sauce, nothing seems to work. The vegetables taste amazing but they need an extra touch and I can't find it.

My favorite stir fry sauce is like this:
>fry garlic, ginger, scallion and chili in oil for ~30 seconds
>add the liquid mix of soy sauce, dry sherry, vinegar, chicken stock, sugar, sesame oil with some cornstarch

I don't know what flavors you are looking to add to your recipe tho

The missing ingredient is meat
But also obviously you're not meant to just use one sauce straight. Use some combination of shaoxing, soy sauce, oyster sauce, black vinegar, sesame oil, stock

Yeah I know, I even tried hoisin sauce out of desperation and it "fit" so well but tasted awful without meat. This recipe is unfortunately a necessity, I'm having heart issues from all the meat I eat (shit like pic related is my bread and butter) and this recipe is pretty much the only full vegetarian thing that actually tastes good to begin with.

sesame oil + soy sauce + oyster sauce for that generic asian food flavour
put the sesame oil in last after you're done with cooking, it loses flavour with heat

Add some peanut butter, sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce.

1. Switch to bean pasta to cut your carb intake
2. Use meat substitutes, there's plenty of them

If you're having heart issues surely your doctor would put you in touch with a dietitian as opposed to you trying to concoct some salt and Suger laden sauces.
