Flax Goop

If you want to do a Chinese style lemon chicken sauce, use lemon juice and a pinch of grated lemon peel (scrape off just the colored portion of the peel). Add the juice and peel to some melted butter in a pan, and whisk some ThickenThin Not/Starch (expertfoods.com) in to thicken it instead of cornstarch.

Alternatively you could use Flax Goop for thickening.

From http://home.teleport.com/~noelvn/veg...eplacers.html:

Flax Gloop

You'll need whole (not ground!) flax seeds, and some cheesecloth (a strainer won't work).
Quick Method:

Use 1 part seeds to 4 parts water (the seed sellers say to use 1 part seeds to 3 parts water, but they're in the business of selling seeds, aren't they?). Simmer for 5-7 min. Proceed as described under "Straining".

* For 1 egg, use 4 tsp. seeds to 1/3 cup = 80 ml water (some will boil off).

Efficient Method:

Use 1 part seeds to 12 parts water, e.g. 4 tsp. seeds per cup of water, or 1 tsp. per 60 ml of water. Soak from 1 hour to overnight, whatever is convenient for you. Simmer for 20 min, and be sure to let gloop cool completely before straining.
Straining

Allowing the gloop to cool with the seeds in it makes it thicker. When it is thick and cool enough, pour it into a bowl lined with cheesecloth. Gather up the edges of the cloth and gently squeeze out the gloop, until the cloth contains only seeds. (If you're trying to use a strainer and it works, your gloop is too thin! Simmer it a bit more...) Compost the seeds (hide them somewhere in tonight's dinner?), and use the gloop.

To replace 1 egg, use

* a scant 1/4 cup gloop
* 50 ml gloop

thanks NAJA! I am a terrible cook, but I think I'll try this! I LOVE lemon chicken, and haven't had it in years!

I had seen a recipe that used the flax seed thickener, and had no idea how or where to get it, I really appreciate you posting it here!
