Salt is the main spice of each one of our dishes. This simple spice is accused of many sins, but without it we won't be satisfied at the table. You can skip adding other spices (black pepper or savory herb), but if you forget the salt, the dish simply will not be tasty.
Sometimes, however, it happens that season a dish a little more salt than necessary and this mistake is difficult to correct. There is no way to remove the already added salt from the dish, but with the help of a few tried and tested tricks, we can help ourselves to correct this culinary mistake.
If you add too much salt in a soup or broth, you can correct your mistake by adding sliced potatoes, vegetables or noodles. If it is not permissible to add more vegetables, add a beaten egg white. It will absorb a big portion of the salt. Note that it is important to remove it immediately with a slotted spoon.
Another trick is to bet on rice in the fight of a salty dish. Well washed, it is placed in a cloth bag and dipped in the dish. When the rice is cooked, it will absorb the salt and then the bag should be removed from the pot.
If you add too much salt in a salad, just add more chopped vegetables, which will immediately absorb the excess salt.
If you have oversalted minced meat, just add grated raw potatoes or boiled rice.
Do not try to fix a dish by adding more water. You risk spoiling its taste.
