What can I use to thicken stir fry sauce if I don't have cornstarch?

Answer 1

Yep..flour is the way to go, but make sure you mix it with water first, put the two together in a covered container and shake the heck out of it to thouroughly blend, this will help avoid lumping.

Plus, you have to make sure you cook it for a bit after to get rid of a floury taste.

You can also substitute broth for the water to add more flavour, but if you are using store bought broth, make sure you adjust you adjust your soya sauce and salt levels.

Answer 2

Flour. Use a tablespoon of flour, mix in a little water till a paste, then add a bit more water to make it thinner, then pour into stir fry.

Answer 3

Flour is my first choice, but there are a few catches with it. Whisk about 1 T. with 1/4 c. cold water (it won't clump that way), and make sure your sauce boils for at LEAST a minute (full rolling boil). Flour lends a taste that is easily cancelled out as long as it boils for a minute.
