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).
I read your bio and want to wish you good luck with your home cooking school!
