Notes
If you like sesame oil, you might add a tiny bit to the cooking oil at the beginning (I would start with ½ teaspoon and then add to taste—a little sesame oil goes a long way).It's important to add the cornstarch as directed. If mixed directly into the hot liquid in the pan, it will clump and not thicken. Making a slurry with cold or room temperature liquid before adding to the heat is the proper way to thicken with cornstarch.
