Directions
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water to create a smooth slurry. Set aside.

Stir the mixture well and bring it to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the cornstarch slurry, whisking continuously to prevent any lumps.
Step 5
Continue whisking and cooking the sauce for 2-3 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 7
