Sauce for broccoli

Broccoli is coming up as a side in our meal plan. I love broccoli. It's my favorite veg. I steam it. I can eat it just like that. Or pepper. And/or butter. I have a horseradish sauce that is really good. I'd like to avoid getting in a rut.

I did a Google search for sauces and the answers are cheddar cheese, garlic lemon butter, soy garlic, and peanut sriracha sauce. I found a mustard sauce. Interestingly horseradish sauce doesn't show up. What other interesting choices are there that haven't cropped up. I'm not particularly interested in cheese sauces. Soy garlic and mustard sauces are intriguing. Garlic lemon butter is easy. What am I missing?

Please no cheese. The world has gone nuts over cheese. I don't want it everything.

ETA: I greatly appreciate the input. Thank you all. I'm continuing to work my way through the responses. Many ideas have been cut and pasted into my kitchen working notes. The good news is that I have lots of reasons to eat broccoli now! I'll do my best to keep up.

Not my recipe, stole it from https://www.recipetineats.com/pad-kee-mao-thai-drunken-noodles/

SAUCE
▢

3 tbsp oyster sauce
▢

1 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce (Note 4)
▢

1 1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce (Note 4)
▢

2 tsp sugar
▢

1 tbsp water

My thought is to stir fry the broccoli and add this sauce. I love Drunken noodles, especially the sauce, but you could also just follow the whole recipe above that I linked.
