Absolutely — salty food accidents happen to the best of us! But don’t worry, there are plenty of kitchen tricks to bring balance back depending on what you’re cooking. Here’s a breakdown of how to fix salty food, with tips, recipes, and ingredients tailored to different types of dishes:
🔧 General Fixes for Salty Food
1. Dilution
Best for: Soups, stews, sauces.
How: Add water, unsalted broth, or a mild base (like tomato purée).
Pro Tip: Taste after each addition so you don’t end up watering it down too much.
2. Add Bulk
Best for: Sauces, stir-fries, pastas.
How: Add more of the main (unsalted) ingredients — rice, noodles, potatoes, meat, veggies, etc.
3. Balance with Sweetness
Best for: Tomato sauces, curries, roasted veggies.
How: Add a small amount of sugar, honey, maple syrup, or even caramelized onions.
Caution: Go slow — you want to balance, not make it sweet.
