2. Five scientific remedies
1. Physical dilution method (recommendation index ★★★★★)
Turn off the heat immediately, take out 1/3 of the noodles, rinse with water and mix into the original pot. This method has received 246,000 likes in a video tested on the Douyin "Gourmet Doctor" account.
2. Sugar Neutralization Method (Recommendation Index ★★★★☆)
Add 3-5g white sugar/rock sugar and stir-fry until melted. Xiaohongshu Master's "Salted Fish Turn Over" experiment shows that this method can reduce the perception of salty taste by about 40%.
| sugar | Add scale | Effective time | Suitable for the scene |
|---|---|---|---|
| white sugar | Add 5g for every 500g of noodles | 2 minutes | Lighter color braised noodles |
| rock candy | Add 3g per 500g noodles | 5 minutes | Braised noodles that need to be drained of juice |
| honey | Add 8ml for every 500g of noodles | immediately | Braised noodles with the flame off |
3. Starch adsorption method (recommendation index ★★★☆☆)
Cut the potatoes into thin slices and spread them on the surface, simmer for 3 minutes and then take them out. Actual measurement data from Weibo users shows that it can take away about 15% of salt.
4. Balance of side dishes (recommendation index ★★★★☆)
Quickly blanch bean sprouts, cabbage and other mild vegetables and mix in. The UP main test at Station B shows that every 100g of vegetables can absorb 0.3g of salt.
5. Secondary processing method (recommendation index ★★☆☆☆)
Use the braised noodles as a filling to make pancakes or steamed buns. Zhihu's "Dark Cuisine Research Institute" column contains 17 transformation plans.

4. Suggestions from professional chefs
Master Wang, an expert from the China Cuisine Association, reminds:"Prevention is better than remedy", and gave 3 suggestions:
1. Use a salt-limited spoon and follow the standard of no more than 3g of salt per 500g of noodles.
2. Season seasonings in batches and taste before collecting the juice.
3. Choose low-sodium soy sauce (salt content ≤12g/100ml)
Final reminder: If the saltiness exceeds the remediable range (salt content > 2.5%), it is recommended to make it again. Healthy diet data shows that adults’ daily sodium intake should be controlled within 2000mg, which is approximately equivalent to 5g of table salt.
