BUILDING BLOCK: Savory Sauce Base

I made a mustard sauce last night, and in the process realized how easy it is to make a sauce base (add in whatever you like post base-creation).

Serving Size: Modify Accordingly

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp cornstarch (or use 4 tbsp flour and double water)
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup chicken/veggie broth

Instructions:

• Mix cornstarch/flour with water and let sit
• Boil broth and subsequently bring to a simmer
• Add in mixture to broth - stir until sauce thickens
• Add additional broth if you want a thinner sauce
• Add in desired ingredients (for a mustard sauce - try two tbsp of a spicy mustard)
