Cooking Tips

Cornstarch Slurry

Dissolved in water, cornstarch is used to thicken sauces (especially stir-fry and Asian dishes) giving them an attractive transparent glaze. 

Using a wire whisk or a fork, mix cornstarch and water until thoroughly mixed. Always stir mixture again just before using because the starch settles.

Thin:
3 tablespoons Water
1 tablespoon Cornstarch

Thick:
1 tablespoons Water
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
