3. Adjusting the Consistency:
   Pour in enough water to reach your desired sauce consistency. Let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

4. Thickening:
   Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until the sauce has thickened to your preference. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
