My supermarket has a ethnic food aisle and it’s right with the soy and hoisin sauces. You can also get the oyster sauce right there too. And as far as the sherry I’m not sure. I’ve read it’s fairly essential for that flavor
It's not crazy garlic-y, but there's some in there. For full-on garlic try Huy Fong Chili Garlic Sauce if you haven't already. It's in a lot of grocery stores in the Asian foods secction.

Chili garlic sauce isn't sriracha.

Yes, I am aware of that part! I am not eating cup fulls of sriracha so less concern but to note, I used the term but I personally use it's chilli garlic sauce which doesn't have sugar in it: https://www.amazon.com/Huy-Fong-Chili-Garlic-Sauce/dp/B0016L34GO

This chili garlic sauce might be close. It’s really good and no other flavors. Has a little acidity though
Edit: actually looking at the ingredients between the two, it matches up pretty well, the huy fong one has some preservative though.
Here is the amazon posting so you can see the ingredients

Odd, the bottles I've seen list it as 1g total carbs / 1g sugar per serving. Are you getting some off-brand instead of the original Huy Fong brand or something?
Either way, Sriracha seems to have sugat at almost the top of the ingredient list. Might look into Huy Fong Chili Garlic Sauce, same company, nearly the same product except that sugar is completely gone from the ingredient list. They also make a Huy Fong Sambal Oelek Chili Paste that's basically the garlic chili sauce without the garlic.
https://www.amazon.com/Huy-Fong-Chili-Garlic-Sauce/dp/B0016L34GO They usually have it in the Asian section of most US grocery stores. I used to think it was sriracha in a different bottle just from the rooster, but it's different.
Tried to mix it up this week so lunch isn't so bland.

It has quite a bit of flavor to it, besides the heat.
I like to use a chili garlic sauce as my stir fry sauce. <1 carb per serving! Not the same as a stir fry sauce, but the stuff is like crack to me. I can eat it by the spoonful.
I'd simply avoid all processed junk whenever possible while staying away from restaurant foods except for those special occasions. Most likely that should get about three-quarters of the game covered according to this chart below:
For the meals that were prepared on my own, no added salt whatsoever since the flavor would come from salt-free canned tomatoes and powdered white onion. Maybe I would sprinkle just a little bit of kelp granules on top whenever I felt like adding a little bit of taste.
Stuff like chili garlic sauce and canned soups do contain some salt, I would add water to dilute them as my condiments while mixing everything beans and rice:

Well below my 1,500mg/day target and I don't really think much about my sodium intake as long as I'm cooking everything myself.
BTW, there are quite a few substitutes out there and three of them could be found online.
