"I no longer live in the US but sometimes crave American-style Chinese food. I’ve finally learned to make one of my takeout go-to’s. The secret is using a bit of turmeric to get that bright yellow quality and more cornstarch than you think you would need to get that classic viscosity. Finally, some Aji-no-moto for umami. "
