Brilio.net - Cooking at home can be a useful and fun hobby. You can use your free time to try various recipes for side dishes, vegetables, or other dishes. According to food-guide.canada.ca, cooking regularly can help reduce stress. When the cooking is successful, a sense of pride will definitely arise.
In addition, cooking yourself can also save monthly expenses. Cooking at home is usually cheaper than buying ready-made food. You can also choose quality ingredients to support a healthy diet.
However, sometimes when cooking, the results are not as expected. For example, the food burns, the ingredients fall, or the wrong amount of seasoning makes the taste less delicious. This was also experienced by Ken, a graduate of MasterChef season 2, who shared his experience on TikTok @thebiggerchef.
"It often happens when cooking, it's salty," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @thebiggerchef on Friday (25/10).

When making salty dishes, people usually choose to add sugar or water, so that the saltiness can be reduced. However, Chef Ken is different, he has another ingredient that is considered more effective in overcoming salty dishes, especially soup or stir-fry dishes. The ingredient in question is peeled and cut potatoes .
Reported from eatwell101.com, potatoes are rich in starch that can absorb excess salt in cooking. Then, when peeled and cut, put the potatoes into the soup or stir-fry that you are making. Cook while stirring continuously for a few moments. Then correct the taste and the potatoes can be set aside if they have successfully overcome the saltiness of the dish.
