I like Asian family peanut satay it's not exactly low cal though.

I'm a big fan of Hoisin, it's good for stirfries, good as a dipping sauce and good as a marinade. It's high in sugar though.

Teriyaki is good, there tend to be 2 different types, one a gooey sauce, and the other a marinade the consistency of water. I like the marinade for chicken and pork.

Satay is a staple in my house, again not low calorie but so yummy.

I'm not a fan of sweet & sour, but that's a personal taste.

I've been using chilli garlic sauce recently - 10 calories a portion (depending on how much you use, obviously, but it's mainly just chilli so I wouldn't eat loads). I also use soy sauce and sesame oil quite lot. Again, you only use a little bit so they don't add a lot of calories.

I love ponzu sauce - it's not a thick sauce, but it's tangy and salty and slightly sweet at the same time. My favourite way to use it is just before I've finished cooking some meat, I add about 10-20ml of the sauce to the frypan and toss the meat in it until it forms a slightly sticky coating.

Great, its now 10pm and I'm drooling from reading this thread...

I really like tamari. It makes nice stir fries if you cook the vegetables in a little sesame oil and then add tamari sauce and honey.

Being part asian we make maybe 60% of ours but on a lazy day, i use Blue dragon.
Oyster sauce is good~

I actually make a really easy unprocessed Asian sauce- add low-sodium soy sauce (or Tamari sauce), honey, ginger (fresh or ground), and sesame seed oil. It has that great Asian sweet and tangy-ness but without all those toxic ingredients you find in store bought mixes. I put oit on fish and in rice/ veggies.
Also, Trader Joe's makes a good natural Asian sauce too
