Aaaargh, I should've remembered to check the metric measurements for tablespoons on Nagi's recipe.. 60 ml instead of 45 ml of soy sauce later I have a super salty dish 😖 adding potatoes won't work so maybe I'll have to steam some carrot and throw that in to spread it out a bit more. I did think it seemed like an awful lot of sauce, should've trusted my gut!
E: added a tiny splash of vinegar and a touch more sugar and two carrots and it's passable now.
I’m not an expert of this. Can a little bit of sugar balance it out?
I put some sugar in but it's not quite enough. It's still too strong-tasting if you get what I mean, relative to the broccoli and mock chicken
Yeah it can.
Damn. If something is salty I put a splash of vinegar or lemon or lime in it.
Yeah, I've put in a splash of vinegar and that's helped a bit but I don't want to put any more and risk the flavour changing altogether. I think after I add the carrots I'll add another tiny splash and hope for the best
I heard you can cook potatoes in something salty and then remove them but have never tried it
Edit: never mind it’s a myth
