I know what you mean. One of my main dishes is black bean sauce but Chinese dishes from the local take-away seem to have the shiny, glossy texture. I've heard that comes from soy beans but I'm not sure.
I throw in sesame oil, rice vinegar and either soy sauce or fish sauce for the salt.
Not that I can eat out any more because my husband suffers from an allergy to gluten and soy sauce normally contains gluten. I was a big fan of Thai food.
