[header] How to thicken sauce [title] Select your starch. [step] Cornstarch is the most common to use for thickening, but you can also use potato starch, arrowroot flour, tapioca flour, or rice flour. When combined with liquids and heated, these starches swell and form a thickening gel.

  1. [substeps] It's best to stir ingredients together beforehand, as this will avoid the tabasco sauce fighting off the teriyaki sauce. If using a saucepan, shake the pot off first.
  2. When you mix them with simply water, cornstarch will lock in heat and expand to fuel your broiler. [title] Place your water on your stovetop over a low flame and heat it up.
  3. [substeps] The overall consistency can vary depending on whether you're making baked goods, dry salad, or simply preparing a meal. [title] Add 3/4 cup (65 g) of cold water to the saucepan.
  4. [substeps] Flour isn't recommended for this method because it has a strong flavor and doesn't have the same thickening power as the other starches. Similarly, instant flour can be whisked directly into sauces without being mixed with water first, but it's not recommended.
