Cornstarch acts as a thickner so if you don't care about the liquid, don't use the cornstarch

Is it really necessary to use the cornstarch? It would be just as tasty without it, and less calories, and more healthy for you.

I really appreciate the solid measurements for the various items. It is frustrating to see "chop a medium onion." the size of the onions or carrots that come out of our garden are not the same as the ones from the store.
