Directions
- It's easy to use cornstarch as a thickening agent, but it's important to do it correctly.
- If you add it directly into the mixture you want to thicken, you're going to end up with a clumpy mess.
- Instead, you need to make a slurry (a mixture of a thickening agent and liquid).
- To make a slurry for a soup or sauce, whisk equal parts cornstarch and cold water, wine, stock, or broth. It's important to make sure the liquid is cold before adding the starch to ensure that its granules can easily disperse.
- You can then slowly pour the smooth slurry into your simmering sauce, soup, stew, or gravy.
