Observations
How do I thicken my sauce?
If at the end of step 1, the sauce doesn’t look thick, bring your mixture to a boil and then add a mixture of 1 tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in some cold water. Mix by lowering the heat and until it thickens.
How to make your own peanut butter?
If you can’t find peanut butter in your supermarket, simply mix roasted peanuts until they turn into dough.
