Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon arrowroot, potato flour, or cornstarch

1 1/4 cups soy milk

1 bay leaf

salt and freshly ground pepper

freshly grated nutmeg

 

Put the arrowroot, potato flour, or cornstarch into a bowl and mix to a thin

paste with some of the soy milk.

 

Put the rest of the soy milk into a saucepan with the bay leaf if you're using

this and bring to a boil.

 

Pour the boiling milk over the mixture in the bowl, stir, then return it to the

saucepan and stir over a gentle heat for a minute or two, until the sauce has

thickened.

 

Season with salt, pepper, and freshly grated nutmeg. Remove the bay leaf just

before serving (it can be washed, dried, and used again if you wish).

 

Variations: Once made, this sauce can be flavored in many different ways. Foe

instance, with chopped parsley, as suggested for White Sauce; with other chopped

fresh herbs, such as chives, tarragon, dill, or fennel; with chopped scallions,

fennel bulb, or celery (stems and leaves); with finely chopped or sliced very

fresh raw mushrooms; with chopped, cooked asparagus.

 

Description:

" This sauce is low in both fat and calories. You can use cornstarch,

arrowroot, or potato flour, the latter two being preferred by health

experts. "
