Method
- 1
Measure the cornstarch into a small bowl or cup.
- 2
Add the cold water and whisk briskly with a fork or small whisk until completely smooth, with no dry lumps of cornstarch remaining.
- 3
Re-whisk just before using, since the cornstarch settles quickly, then pour the slurry into the simmering liquid you're thickening in a thin stream while whisking or stirring constantly.
- 4
Continue to simmer for 1-2 minutes after adding, until the sauce visibly thickens and no longer tastes starchy.
