For the red sauce, add 2 cups of water to a pan and mix in 1 tablespoon of flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Add a few drops of red food color to the mixture and stir well while the flame is off to avoid lumps.

Turn on the flame and cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously until it thickens slightly.

Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool.
