Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or other starch
- ¼ cup water broth or milk
Instructions
- Warm up the Liquid: Heat up the water, broth or milk in a medium-sized bowl in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, or until warm.
- Whisk Slurry: Sprinkle in the starch to the warmed liquid, making sure there are no large clumps. (If the starch is clumpy, sift it prior to adding it into the liquid.) Whisk the slurry until smooth and no clumps remain. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl as the starch tends to settle.
- Add to Recipe: Stir the slurry into your soup, stew, or stir-fry and simmer until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Notes
- Measurement: The amount of slurry you make will depend on how much sauce, soup, or stew you are trying to thicken up. You may need to double the amounts above in order for it to reach your desired consistency.
- Ratio: Always make sure to use a ratio of 2:1 liquid to starch.
