In the daily Vietnamese cuisine, dishes such as dried fish, dried shrimp… are highly favored. However, in order to preserve these foods, they often have to be processed with salt, resulting in high salinity. The guide to delicious daily cooking offers some tips to reduce the saltiness of dried fish.
Soak dried goods in rice water
After washing the rice for cooking, keep the rice water to soak the dried goods. The rice water will help to significantly reduce the amount of salt. You should soak them for about 30 minutes, then remove and let them dry.
Soak dried goods in diluted lemon juice
Lemon juice mixed in a ratio of 1 cup water + 1/3 lemon juice will help to reduce the amount of salt in dried goods. Soak in 30 minutes, then remove and drain well.
If lemon juice affects the flavor of the dish you are preparing later, you can dilute the lemon juice more.
Diluted salt water
The easiest way to reduce saltiness is to take a little warm water and mix in a bit of salt, then soak the fish in it. The fish will become less salty. This method may seem illogical because the fish is already salty and then soaked in salt water, but it is actually quite scientific.
According to the principle of neutralization, salt in a high concentration area will move to an area of low concentration to neutralize the solution, so the salt in the dried fish will move to the area of low concentration and gradually dissolve into the water, making the fish less salty.
Boil briefly in boiling water
A quick tip is to soak the dried fish in hot water for about 30 minutes, then rinse it again, taste the flesh of the fish inside. If it is still salty, put the fish in a pot of hot water, cover it with water, and bring it to a boil for about 15 minutes. Remove and let it drain, the fish will be a lot less salty.
