How to change the saltiness of beef stir fry to a lighter one

Beef stir fried with salt can be diluted with water, paired with bland ingredients, extended cooking time, neutralized with sugar, and thickened with starch to make it lighter.

When beef is stir fried and salty, you can add a small amount of water to the pot to dilute the saltiness, but be careful to control the amount of water to avoid affecting the taste. You can also stir fry with strong salt absorbing light flavored ingredients such as potatoes, tofu, broccoli, etc. to absorb some salt. If time permits, the low heat stewing time can be extended to reduce the salt content as the water evaporates. Moderate addition of white sugar or rock sugar can neutralize the salty taste, but special people such as diabetes should be cautious. Finally, water starch can be used to thicken the sauce, evenly dispersing the salt and reducing local saltiness.

It is recommended to use a quantitative salt spoon to control the amount of salt used in daily cooking, and reduce salt containing seasonings such as soy sauce when marinating beef. If excessive salt is mistakenly used, it is advisable to first add potato slices or tofu to absorb the salt and avoid repeated water addition leading to nutrient loss. hypertensive patients should strictly control their daily sodium intake. When dining out, they can request less salt in their dishes or prepare dipping sauces separately to adjust the saltiness.
