Here’s how to make a cornstarch slurry! Use this mixture to thicken sauces, soups, stews and more to a glossy consistency.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons water (or stock)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until fully combined. 
  2. Pour the mixture into the hot liquid you plan to thicken: stir fry sauce, soup, stew, fruit compote or sauce, etc. Stir constantly and the sauce should thicken in about 30 seconds to 1 minute. If it’s not thick enough, repeat with another tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in water.
