Add bowl of sauce to the skillet with the meat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 4 to 5 minutes. Give the cornstarch slurry a quick stir, then drizzle it into the skillet and stir well to combine. Sauce will start to thicken.

For softer vegetables, once sauce is heated through cover and let simmer on low heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Then serve per usual.
