Best Answer

corn starch or flour...make sure that you sift it into the sauce and then stir it as soon as it hits the sauce...or it will get lumpy. Arrowroot will thicken something without having to cook it.

Some ways I know of: Mix about a tablespoon of corn starch with about 1/2 cup cold water and stir well, then add to the boiling stew. Mix about 1/4 cup of flour with water until it makes a somewhat thin pancake batter and add to boiling stew. Add Okra either whole or cut to the stew and let it simmer, the juices from the okra will thicken the broth. Another option is to place raw biscuits on the surface of the hot stew, then place it in the oven and bake it until the tops of the biscuits start turning brown. The biscuits will soak up the access moisture and go great with the stew. If you do not want to make the biscuits one can use the canned biscuits.

thickening agents used for sauces are flour and corn stach.

Some say that arrowroot is the best thickener. A good way to eliminate lumps in your thickener is to melt butter and add the thickener to the butter and then combine with your sauce.

Simmer it longer. It's that simple. Just let more water cook out of the sauce.

You might also chop some tomatoes and add that too the simmer if you're looking for a chunkier sauce.

Whisk cornstarch or flour with just enough ice cold water to make a thick sauce. Then slowly stir it into your sauce at low heat and continue stirring until it thickens.
