- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Set aside to use as a thickening agent later.

Step 6
Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the sauce and stir continuously to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
