"On behalf of Expert Village, I am Laura Banford and I am going to show you how to make Hawaiian Pork with braised cabbage and pineapple tomato skewers. Well, we finished our pineapple skewers and you will see them when we plate this dish in the next clip. We braised the Hawaiian pork and it is time to finish that. So that is what we are going to do right now. We are going to make a slurry. A slurry is a liquid mixture intended to thicken a sauce. We want to thicken this Hawaiian pork sauce. A slurry includes corn starch usually. Just one teaspoon of corn starch. Usually it would be corn starch and stock or corn starch and water but in this case, we are going to make a delicious coconut milk slurry. We are going to whisk that together. Just corn starch and a liquid and in this case, it is coconut milk; light coconut milk. I am going to put a little bit more. I am going to turn this down a little bit. We are going to whisk this in. Add it. Oh, this dish smells terrific. I wish you could smell it. Well, you will just have to make it and then you will be able to smell how wonderful; garlic and pork and lemon grass and ginger. Going to add that. And you see, the sauce thickens up immediately. Okay, we are going to just simmer that a little bit longer. And its time to eat. In the next clip, we are going to plate our delicious dish."
