Is a thickening agent made from the kuzu plant. It has superior thickening properties, especially for smooth, shiny sauces, gravies and soups. It is bought as a powder and should be stored in an airtight jar. Kuzu is mixed with cold water and added to other ingredients close to the end of the cooking time. As it simmers, it will thicken and become translucent.
