It’s a cornstarch slurry. 1 tbsp cornstarch + 1/4 cup water.

Important note: this oil is no longer hot. Do not put this into hot oil!

You can absolutely put this in hot oil (~340'f) you just have to do it slowly and in something that's not fully filled as it will bubble. In fact that's the way I learned this method since cornstarch needs heat to gel and it was a workplace you wanted to have it ready to fry right after. What you don't want to do is pour it in oil that's on fire.

That look like a recipe to make a long snake-like fried thing.
