• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Made some egg fried rice last night but I made it a bi too salty. I must have added too much soy sauce. Wanted to have it tonight but is there anything I can do to make it less salty? Was thinking to add more plain rice to it but I'm thinking that maybe the sauce has already been absorbed in to the rice so not sure if it will help that much?

Really annoying as there is loads left and has chicken in it so don't want to waste it. Any ideas?
 
Yeah, there really isn't much you can do with salt besides "make more of it."
 
You could try adding a little bit of lemon juice or white wine vinegar.
 
I once made that mistake back in the '70s. But I added some soy sauce & salt!! Big mistake!!!! I had to cooke some more rice & add it to the fried rice. That ended the problem. Kept out the salty stuff. :wink:
