Also, an extra egg in the minced meat will take away some of the salt, but to prevent the mixture from ending up too runny, you need to mix in a little flour or breadcrumbs.

In addition, you should pay attention to sour cream. Such a product will improve the texture and remove excess salt.

If you don’t want to change the proportions, you can rinse the salted mince in a bowl of clean water.

The procedure will have to be repeated several times. After this, the meat dough needs to be mixed well and beaten to remove all excess moisture.
