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.
