How do you balance salty soy sauce?

Best thing is to dilute the sauce. If it's heavily reduced from the braising process and you have flavor to spare, you can just add a little water. Alternatively, you can just add more of your other ingredients that aren't salty. Thicken with a little cornstarch slurry if it needs it after diluting.

Water to the Rescue! Rescue too-salty soups and sauces by adding a bit of water, sodium-free broth, or other liquid.
