Seriously Asian: The Function of Cornstarch
*sigh*
I am very allergic to corn. I had to stop eating out because even meals you would think are corn-free can be cooked like this, and cornstarch is not disclosed as an ingredient. Asian eateries used to use rice starch, but in the US, corn is still cheaper.
My Week Without Corn
I've been corn-free for 4 years. I'm very allergic, and all I can say is 'thank god I moved to northern california." The abundance of multi-cultural food and speciality markets makes it much easier to avoid corn. It still sucks a LOT though.
