Some ways to add or subtract dishes that are unfortunately bland or salty are things that housewives are quite concerned about. Therefore, adjusting the seasoning when the soup is unfortunately salty will help bring a delicious and nutritious meal for the family.
Potatoes, cold rice absorb salt
The starch in potatoes and cold rice has the ability to absorb excess salt effectively without changing the flavor of the soup. Housewives only need to peel, slice potatoes and then put them in a boiling soup pot for about 10-15 minutes before taking them out.
In addition, housewives can wrap a handful of cold rice in a clean mosquito net cloth and then drop it into the soup pot, the excess salt will be immediately absorbed and help the soup reduce the salty taste.
Filtered water, spicy broth
This can be considered the quickest and easiest "firefighting" tip when the soup tastes saltier than the family's taste. Housewives can gradually add filtered water or bone broth, boiled vegetable water without seasoning to the soup pot. This tip will help dilute salt concentration quickly and effectively.
The sour taste of lemon, vinegar
The natural acid in lemon or vinegar will help neutralize the saltiness, making the soup softer. Housewives can also apply this method to sour soups, rib soups or cool vegetable soups. Squeeze each drop of lemon juice or add half a teaspoon of vinegar to the soup pot and stir well. Note not to add too much lemon or vinegar but to season so that the soup does not change to a strongly sour flavor.
Using egg whites
Egg whites when exposed to high temperatures will solidify and easily absorb excess salt and dirt, helping the broth to be crystal clear.
Housewives can separate the egg white, beat it lightly and then slowly pour it into a simmering soup pot. Wait a few minutes for the egg white to solidify, absorb the salt and wait for it to float to the surface before using a spoon to remove it.
Soothe salty taste with sugar
If the soup is salty and astringent, use a little sugar to regulate the flavors as well as soothe the harshness of the salt. Add about a teaspoon of sugar to the soup pot, stir well until completely dissolved and then season again. This method is quite suitable for rib stew soup, pumpkin soup or vegetable soup to help the dish have a slightly sweeter taste.
