- Sweet rice flour or white rice flour works best for thickening; other gluten-free flours might alter texture.
- Use warm broth to ensure smooth incorporation with the flour paste.
- Adjust seasoning according to preference; optional herbs can be added for extra flavor.
- Store refrigerated gravy in an airtight container and reheat gently, adding a splash of broth if needed to adjust consistency.
