Make your own! Keep a supply of the following around and experiment with mixtures:

Soy Sauce
Oyster Sauce
Hoisin Sauce
Rice Vinegar
Minced ginger (Actually, the best thing is to buy whole ginger root, freeze it, and grate it frozen into sauces, stirfry, etc.)
Siracha Sauce
Sesame Oil
Coconut Oil
Honey
Minced Garlic
Peanut Butter
Five Spice Blend

You don't need to buy it all at once but if you build up a collection of these things, you can mix and match just about any 2-3 of these and have an interesting flavour with an Asian influence (especially if you start with soy sauce, sesame oil or oyster sauce as a base). Once you get comfortable with the flavours you can add a couple more layers by adding more of these or trying some different additions like pineapple or mango juice(or puree), or other things that will give you a more fusion feel like Maple syrup, although you have to be careful not to get too weird with flavors when you go in that direction. For example, I don't think worcestershire sauce goes well with any of the 'asiany' ingredients I've listed. (tried a few, just didn't care for that flavour in there)
