Why cornstarch is essential for stir-fry? Making sauces with cornstarch.

Sauces are important in cooking to create and enhance the flavor and texture of food ingredients.  In stir-fry, making a good sauce is easy by using cornstarch, which is preferred over flour.  Cornstarch is used in all kinds of cooking as a thickening agent in liquid-based foods.  Cornstarch is preferred over flour in stir-fry due to its translucent property, whereas starch is generally opaque.  Cornstarch is also a more effectively thickening agent than flour because it is nearly 100% starch whereas flour is half of this amount.  In this video, I demonstrate two ways to use cornstarch as a thickening agent in stir-fry.  Depending on the situation, I use both methods in my stir-fry cooking in the wok.
