| | eG Forums -> Cornstarch |
| | Cornstarch is the key to marrying the food and its flavoring sauce! In fact I often find that when a dish is bland, it is because the sauce hasn't been thickened enough. | | | I wonder whether there is an argument that reliance on cornstarch to attract flavors is a flaw of the stir fry technique, and therefore whether the overall benefits of the stir fry technique outweigh its costs (which include the need for cornstarch, if one sees cornstarch as a negative). | | | Whether you use corn or tapioca starch, you are using an ingredient that is fundamental to making sitr fried foods and their flavoring agents adhere to one another. |
