How to Fix an Overseasoned Dish
- 1). Think of salt, sugar and acid as the trinity that holds up all other flavors. When these three are out of balance, the other flavors in a dish can also fail to come together.
- 2). To fix a sauce or soup that has too much salt, for example, add a dash of sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- 3). If a sauce or soup is too sweet for you, add salt and lemon juice.
- 4). If a sauce or soup is too sour, then adjust the flavor with a bit of salt and sugar.
- 5). Adjust seasonings gradually, and stir well after each addition.
