garlic and ginger, topped with fried garlic and FGBP. Sauce was thickened
with corn starch. Gotta find 'guar gum'. Really good. One hour PP BG 102.

Xantham gum might be easier to find, and does the same job.

Thanks, Nicky. In the USA, Bob's Red Mill packages guar gum in 1/2 lb bags,
which are sold in large supermarkets for around $5. Someone mentioned using
okra, which we always have on hand, as a thickener, so I'll have Jun try
that first.
