Notes, Tips & Tricks:

1. If you want to add more flavor, replace the salt with 1 to 1/2 bouillon cube (vegetable, chicken or beef) during cooking, but dissolve it in a small amount of warm milk first, because if you do this after adding the flour, the cube may not dissolve completely before the mixture begins to thicken.
2. If you want the mixture to have a thicker consistency so that you can “cut” it when it cools for serving, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the mixture.
3. This recipe is perfect as side dish.
