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.
