Cornstarch is a great thickener for gravies, too. Just make a 2:1 cold water to cornstarch slurry and slowly drizzle it into your heated liquid base. Bring it to a boil, and take it off a minute or so before it gets to the desired thickness (it'll thicken as it cools).

Note from a previous post: Do NOT use cornstarch and water as the roux. You wouldn't do a roux and cornstarch - one or the other.

I use cornstarch when thickening sauces for stir fry

Yeah, cornstarch is used in a ton of oriental sauces.

Perhaps I am misreading, but these two sentences seem to say the exact opposite.

Perhaps I'm not clear. You can use cornstarch and water as a thickener, but you would not use it like a roux (flour and oil). With a roux, that's where you start. You then add cold liquid to your hot roux. Using cornstarch and water slurry, you would start with heating your liquid and add the slurry to thicken.

The end result is basically the same, but you take a totally different route to get there. And at the end of my post, I was trying to note that you wouldn't use a roux and a slurry in the same gravy, though I suppose you could if your roux didn't thicken it sufficiently.
