Corn Starch – Photo and Description from Vegan Venue
Corn Starch is an inexpensive vegan pantry ingredient. We primarily us it as a thickening agent in soups, sauces and other cooked vegan recipes.
Corn Starch
Corn starch is an inexpensive ingredient to thicken sauces and gravies or any other cooked recipe. To use corn starch as a thickening agent, first disperse it in a little cold water or other “watery” ingredients such as soy sauce, and slowly add it (with constant stirring) to the other ingredients while they are cooking. About one tablespoon of corn starch will gel about one cup of liquid. If you have not used corn starch as a thickening agent before, it is best to experiment with it by beginning with lesser amounts, and adding as necessary until the desired consistency is reached. For thickening non-heated recipes such as salad dressings or frozen desserts, we suggest using guar gum or xanthene gum. See the nutritional information below.
