many east asian dishes included some ready made sauce like 豆瓣酱 or 柱侯酱 in chinese cuisines or 고추장 in korean cuisine. These sauces make our dishes delicious but unfortunately they are very high in salt and/or sugars. Is there some way to make the dishes with these sauces from scratch or without such high salt/sugar? We often have to add sugar in the dish in addition to the sauces. Thanks.
I’m sure this is a similar problem in other cuisines but my question is just about east asian cuisines.
edit: i’m referring to homemade food, not restaurant food.
Look up the recipes from 100 years ago or more. They will have less sugar because it wasn’t as common.
YouTube has many people posting videos of keto dishes, head bangers kitchen is great. They remove all of the sugar from the dish. Or they remake in the traditional way. They give you step by step instructions
Google doesn’t let you filter results to 100 years ago so were out of luck.
Funny. But remember the world is bigger than google.

Why would I trust a bunch of piles of paper? I do my own research.
i think a recipe from 100 years ago will just tell me to ferment my own beans for the paste!
