Solution To Salty Food by adeememman(m): 1:53pm On Aug 30, 2015 |
This article is aimed at guiding individual cooks especially ladies and mothers on the things they can do when foods becomes more salty than required. We’ve all experienced it, you are rushing to serve the dinner so you quickly added salt to your food without much precaution and as you tried to have a taste of the delicious meal; Alas, salty is an understatement to qualify the food. I can’t imagine the emotion on your face right now but let me guess; disturbed, confused, angry or even panic. All good meals are about balance of the five tastes namely sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami (savory). All these tastes should complement each other else there will be a problem if one of them becomes too strong. What I’m trying to say in essence is that you should always try to balance out each of the flavors to as to have a perfect meal. I hope this helps someday. Here are some solutions depending on the one that best suit your delicacy and urgency; Rinse: The salt can be rinsed off in case of foods like rice, spaghetti, steamed meat or vegetables. Dilutions: This is applicable to soups. Add water, coconut milk or cream to dilute the excess seasoning. Increasing the volume of the soup will help spread out the salt and dissipate the saltiness. Raw potatoes: Do you know that potatoes absorb salt as they cook? Therefore you can peel some potatoes and slice them into your salty food, the raw potatoes will absorb the salt as they cook briefly(until they look translucent) then you can remove them using slotted spoon and this will surely reduce the salt content. Another seasoning: Adding other seasonings that are not salt based but rather herbs and spices can help dissipate the saltiness in your food. Sugar: I said earlier that a good meal is about balance of the five tastes, depending on your delicacy, adding sugar to foods like beans will reduce its saltiness. Freezing: You can resuscitate your meal on the edge of death by freezing it. This method is only applicable when you do not intend to serve the food immediately. Source: www.madesimpleonline.xyz |
