What's a "basic Asian sauce"?
I'm not trying to be critical, but am genuinely curious as someone who's lived more than half the years since 1997 in Taiwan without hearing that term before.

I'd wager that having spent so long in Taiwan you've probably never heard the term because there it would just be "sauce" :P (or less tongue-in-cheek, it's just something that is implicitly and silently understood and recognized rather than having some kind of formal name).
Yeah, I’d tend to think in more specifically, in terms of which of those ingredients you listed are in it but all of those are familiar.
Though the phrase "White Man's Teriyaki sauce" is running around in my head and yes I get the irony of that.
