Recipe Notes

Make sure to add enough lemon juice and salt. I made it with less lemon juice one time just because I didn’t have enough, and it didn’t taste the same.

If you don’t put enough salt, it would taste bland and boring. The right amount of salt is one of the most important components in home cooking, I think. Too much salt will be pretty bad too. So always taste it before you serve it and adjust the sourness and saltiness.
