Hit Cancel and then hit Saute and Adjust so it's on the More or High setting. Once the sauce begins to bubble, stir in the cornstarch slurry and allow it to bubble for 30 seconds while stirring; the sauce will have thickened up perfectly. Turn the pot off and stir in the Gravy Master or Kitchen Bouquet (if using) along with the scallions.
