  • Sauces in cooking are there to emphasize and round out the flavor of the main dish, and every food has its perfect match. The flavor of fish and seafood is set off best by white sauces built on a base of milk or cream — and this Chinese cream sauce is one of them. Its fragrant, mouthwatering, sweet-and-sour taste with a gentle spicy edge wins everyone over. It's quite simple and very quick to make: you don't have to cook or fry a thing, and you can whisk it together with nothing more than a spoon. Pour cold cream into a small bowl. For the finished sauce to reach that thick, silky consistency, it's best to use cream with 33% fat. Add the mayonnaise to the cream and stir well. You can use store-bought mayonnaise or make your own. Stir in the sweet chili sauce and mix again. Next, the sauce calls for a special Chinese seasoning. To make it, combine the chili pepper, ground hot pepper, and ground ginger in a separate dish. Add the sesame seeds and tangerine zest to the spices (you can swap in orange zest). Add the finished seasoning to the bowl with the sauce and stir thoroughly with a spoon. To help everything blend together, you can give it a quick whirl with a blender on low speed — but not so much that the cream thickens too far. Transfer the sauce to a clean, airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. The finished sauce is best served chilled. It comes out nicely thick and pairs perfectly with fish and seafood, accenting their delicate flavor. You can also drizzle it over sushi or rolls, or serve it with meat. Enjoy!
