  3. While that's simmering, dissolve the cornflour in 1 tbsp water. Turn the heat up till it comes to a rolling boil, and add the cornflour solution.
  4. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat before it becomes too thick. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Add salt.
