Your lady wife is correct, judging by most of the Cantonese recipes I've
ever read or cooked from. In twenty years, I don't think I have seen a Cantonese
stir-fried recipe that doesn't contain sugar. Steamed items without sauces
don't generally have a sugar component, but everything else seems to.
It's probably OK, overall. They don't eat the calorie laden desserts some
Westerners consume.
Best,
Elianne
