Cooks will sometimes make a cornstarch slurry by mixing water and cornstarch to create a thick white liquid.<\/p>\n<p>The slurry is then added to soups or sauces and helps thicken the meal pretty rapidly. Adding powdered cornstarch directly to the soup will undoubtedly cause lumps, so don\u2019t skip the slurry. While many turn to butter and flour to create a roux for thickening purposes, a cornstarch slurry differs greatly.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from ingredients, one significant difference is that roux is cooked first, then the liquid is added slowly. The more liquid you whisk in, the thinner your sauce or soup will become. A cornstarch slurry is typically added at the end to help thicken your meal. So, if you\u2019re making chowder and it\u2019s too thin, add a small amount of slurry and watch as it becomes thicker.<\/p>\n<p>Cornstarch is also used in a\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kawalingpinoy.com\/how-to-velvet-meat\/\">traditional Chinese technique called velveting,<\/a>\u00a0which combines egg white, rice wine, and cornstarch to create a marinade for meat before it\u2019s stir-fried.
