The recipe used here is equivalent to
  • Boil 1 2/3 cups water.
  • Dissolve 1.5 tablespoons potato starch in 3 to 7 tablespoons of cold water.
  • Rapidly stir the starch into the boiling water, then cool.
It's good that you mentioned cornstarch. We grow crazy amounts corn here in the US, so corn starch is extremely cheap.

A difference from potato starch is that corn starch does not reach quite the same thickness and will begin to thin again if it is boiled for too long.
