Here's a way to make the cornstarch paste called for in many of our recipes.
Our recipes call for cornstarch paste as the thickening agent without specifying the exact proportions of cornstarch and water. This recipe is offered as an approximate guide until you find what works best for you. Some cooks prefer the thin paste, some prefer thick.
Thoroughly mix together cornstarch and cold water. Always stir mixture again just before using because the starch settles.
