A few quick notes
1. Mix the thickener as directed
The thickening step has its own little bit of preparation. Follow the mixing step before adding it, then use the consistency check in the method as you finish.
2. Match the preparation in the method
Take a look at the chopping, slicing or shaving step before bringing the parts together. Use the preparation described there so the food goes into the next stage in the form the recipe expects.
3. Give the simmer its place
Keep the simmering stage in the sequence when planning the meal. Follow the heat and texture checks in that step rather than rushing straight to the finish.
