How to save an oversalted dish: 3 expert tips to help bring back the flavor you want
Looking for ways to fix an oversalted dish? SSPDaily has shared some simple and effective strategies to help save your food.
Adding liquid
Add liquid ingredients to the dish, such as water, unsalted broth, or a bag of raw rice wrapped in cheesecloth, to absorb excess salt and dilute the flavor without compromising the overall taste.
Balancing with acidity
Use ingredients such as lemon juice, vinegar, or a few slices of citrus zest to neutralize the saltiness and add freshness to the dish. However, be careful when adding these ingredients, starting with small amounts and gradually increasing to achieve the desired balance.
Adding seasonings
After completing the above steps, taste and evaluate the dish again. If necessary, adjust other seasonings, such as herbs and spices, to bring back the desired flavors that may have suffered a bit from the saltiness.
