  • Using another small bowl, mix cornstarch with the water until dissolution occurs.
  • In a large pan (if you have a wok, it would be better) Heat canola oil.

  • Once boiling lower heat to a medium level and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the dissolved cornstarch - and bring to a boil while stirring.
