Instructions:

1. Experiment with Consistency: Some 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. Adjust accordingly to your preference.

2. Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cold water. Ensure there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth.

6. Store Properly: Any unused cornstarch paste can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for future use. Just give it a good stir before using it again to ensure optimal results.
