Did you know that Asian cuisine regularly uses cornstarch, an invention created by an American in America? The Asians appropriate it and use it to thicken their sauces. Asia, my culture is NOT your cuisine.
Why do Asians culturally appropriate American invented cornstarch for their foods?

90% of all cuisine was invented in America. I mean this unironically. The immigrants come here, they make new dishes here, then they go back home and it becomes popular. Part of it is poor immigrants used to spending 50%+ percent of their income on food and they sort of obsessed with food. When they come here they continue that habit for a generation but with much greater income and cosmopolitan ingredients because they in cities so invent many new dishes.

Basically every single one that has a thick sauce uses cornstarch.

It's better to use this info as a gotcha if someone tries to say I'm being disrespectful when wearing my cheongsam in public

It's a perfect trade off. Asians can use cornstarch and American chicks can continue using cheongsams whenever they come back in style again.

They don't use wheat flour you dingus. You can thicken sauces with flour like a roux or gravy but those would change the Asian dishes too much. Cornstarch is better than rice flour for the same reason. You need very little cornstarch to thicken a sauce and it doesn't change the sauce's color or flavor. Learn to cook, b-word.

Nope, doesn't change too much but it tastes good

Don't a bunch of the Chinese sauces and shit use glutinous rice flour and what not?
I get all the recipes call for cornstarch because it can thicken sauces similarly and is more available in Western markets.

If 澳大利亚 (Australia) were to wage war against China, the Chinese people would win. Australia has a weaker military than China and would get absolutely demolished. 澳大利亚 is for the Chinese, all the whTe angoids will go extinct or get deported back to Engand where they belong and suck some Arab/Paki peepee.
Can 澳大利亚 really stand up to this? Austraians would get killed off one by one in a war and a mass genocide happening will occur with the scum whTe angoids. The result? The result would be a worse outcome for the Austraians than Gallipoli. All the whTe angoids will suffer a much worse fate than Gallipoli. This is the grim reality of ozcrackers. The Chinese will finish the job the Turks started. It's already happening, we are just waiting for the first bullet to be fired and you Austraians are done for. You either stay and get killed by Chang, or get deported and set sail back to Engand. Your choice.
澳大利亚 rightfully belongs to the Chinese. 澳大利亚 is located in the Asian sphere of influence, it is rightfully ours for the taking. You are many, many miles away from your Motherland. I suggest you go back to your cave in Engand where you all belong. 澳大利亚 was illegally taken from the natives that you took advantage of and manipulated like the scheming jws you are. There's a reason why the Austraian and Bng shitposter meme image has a hook nose similar to a jw. Give back 澳大利亚 to the superior Chinese
