Tips:

  • Choose the right saltfish: Look for saltfish that is firm and dry, with no signs of spoilage. If the saltfish is too wet or slimy, it may be spoiled.
  • Soak the saltfish properly: Soaking the saltfish overnight in cold water is essential to remove excess salt and rehydrate the fish. Change the water at least twice during the soaking process.
  • Use a heavy pot: A heavy pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the saltfish from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Don't overcook the saltfish: Saltfish is a delicate fish, so it's important to not overcook it. Overcooked saltfish will become tough and dry.
  • Add vegetables and herbs: Vegetables and herbs can add flavor and color to your saltfish buljol. Common additions include onions, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, and thyme.
