I wanted to encrust a piece of Halibut with some crushed corn chips the other night and needed an egg wash (egg mixed with a little milk or water to form a gooey surface for the chips to stick to). I didn’t have an egg, so I mixed a little cornstarch with water and it worked just like an egg wash. The surface of the fish was a little sticky and the crushed chips adhered very well. Use about 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 3 teaspoons of water, making more if you need it.
