Blue Star Koda Mochiko. But if you want or need to keep it paleo arrowroot is the least starch or non-starch thickener. Sweet potato flour or tapioca starch would do it, too if added starch is good. At that point good old corn starch would as well.

Well, if I can make a roux, anyone can. And really, the roux is a flavor thing. But for thickening, okra will work!  :yes:
Me: Sesame, shellfish, chamomile, sage
DS: Peanuts

I can make a roux as well.  But some say it is sacrilege to not use wheat flour which we cannot use.  My SIL had bought a book of gumbo recipes about a year ago.  I remembered doing research then about how to make a GF roux which left me reading some typical allergy comments.  I looked again last night with more success.
DS1 - Wheat, rye, barley and egg
DS2 - peanuts
DD -  tree nuts, soy and sunflower
Me - bananas, eggplant, many drugs

The amount of corn starch needed to thicken a large pot of something is pretty minimal net carbs.
