A: For this, I would say "Combine salt and pepper and rub the chicken with the mixture. Then add potato starch to the mixture and rub the chicken again."

"Combine salt and pepper and rub chicken with mixture. Add potato starch to mixture and rub chicken again."

"Can you grab me the salt" is more slang

A: Thanks Mikachi! The Japanese way is interesting - cultural difference like that are good to know!

As you said, 'Add 2g of salt per 100g of vegetables' would definitely be understood. Or if you don't have to be precise, you could say 'add a pinch of salt for every hundred grams of vegetables' (a pinch being a very small amount).
