Cornstarch - fine white powder obtained by extracting the starch from the endosperm of the corn kernel. This fine white powder is added to a marinade, to give the ingredients a smooth texture and allows the seasonings to adhere to the ingredients. When used for thickening, cornstarch is first dissolved in cold liquid and then added to hot food during the last stages of cooking. It must be cooked and stirred until the sauce thickens. Cornstarch appears in most of the savory Chinese dishes. It is given in rather meager amounts because a thick sauce could spoil the dish. But if anyone prefers a thicker sauce, it is very easy to achieve. Simply increase the quantity of cornstarch given in the recipes.
