As chefs note, salt should be added to such a dish at the end of cooking, when the main components are already ready. It is best to do this 5-10 minutes before turning off the heat. In this case, the taste will be rich.

If you need to add salt to the broth, you should wait until the dish is half-ready. This is the ideal moment to add salt.

As for the amount of this ingredient, you can take 1/2 teaspoon of the bulk component for each liter of liquid. In this case, it is better to focus on your own taste preferences.
