Smoky Manchow Stir-Fry Sauce

Step 1
Mix the slurry

In a small bowl, stir the cornstarch with 30 ml (2 tbsp) water until completely smooth and lump-free. Set it aside near the stove because it will need a quick stir again before using.

⏱ 1 minute🔥 Room temperature
Cues: The mixture should look milky and pourable, with no dry starch at the bottom.
Tip: Cornstarch settles quickly, so stir again just before adding it to the pan.
