Thanks Joe. I did use sesame oil (see OP), and black bean sauce for second
round as mentioned in another reply in this thread. We were looking for a
'light' vegie meal where the vegie taste was the showcase, just a simple
coated flavour from the added sauces rather than a full sauce itself.

We use chili garlic sauce for many other dishes, sometimes just a
garnish/side, or sometimes as a full sauce. Craving some Mo Pu Tofu now :-)

Thanks for the ideas.
