There are some brands that are very good.  Currently we are using I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. (No artificial ingredients.)  Think of it as flavored vegetable oil.

 

I get your point but I have margarine issues from the 60's so I would prefer a nice spicy olive oil or even pumpkin seed oil or pistachio oil, or walnut or hazelnut oil with a touch of acid ;)  Trader Joes had a holiday gift pack of the latter 3 around the holidays once and I enjoyed playing with them. Truthfully I just spoon on a bit of my nuoc mam. Someone mentioned oyster sauce. That was my into to gai lan at yum cha and I was entranced. Like this https://www.recipetineats.com/chinese-broccoli-with-oyster-sauce/ Now I find oyster sauce too heavy - obscuring the nice sweet/bitter of the vegetable.. Tastes change.
