Author's Note: Why adding salt twice? First time is to make sure the meat will be seasoned. Second time is for the carrots. If adding salt in the end only, the salty taste will only go inside the carrots, not the meat.
Also keep an eye on the water level, if too much water just need to open the lid to reduce it, if too little water, just add hot water a bit more during cooking.
