Wait western esotericism? If you are buddhist why don't you learn about Vajrayana Tantra?

Because there are no gurus near me and I prefer Chinese Buddhism to Tibetan or Japanese. So I can't really do Shingon or Tibetan practices.

I mean, you could. If you haven't given it a chance, Tibetan Buddhism is a beautiful, rich Dharmic tradition. Garchen Rinpoche is a wonderful teacher of Tibetan Buddhism, and has tons of videos on YouTube — you can even take empowerment from his videos. If not I guess you could look into Daoist magick or Japanese Onmyodo, though I don't know how much is available online on those subjects in English.
If not I don't think there are many Western traditions compatible with Buddhism. You might try to mess around with the Greek Magical Papyri or Chaos Magick for instance; they're both pretty modular. Though obviously you'll be mostly working with Graeco-Egyptian and occasionally semitic gods in the Greek Magical Papyri.

I've given thought to Daoist practices to complement my Buddhist practices, but you're right there's not a lot of texts in English on the rituals and practices used by them.
