The meaning of phrase 「すこしじつ」


A few minutes ago on TV I heard the phrase 「すこしじつ」. The broadcast is about
cuisine 「料理」. Maybe I misheard it, because I can not translate it in
vocabularies.. I think it begins with 「少{すこ}し」, then..?




I am pretty sure what you heard was 「すこし **ず** つ」, meaning "little by little".

「すこし **じ** つ」 makes no sense.

「ずつ」, which is a particle, by itself means "per", "at the rate of", etc.

For instance, 「[毎月]{まいつき}３[度]{ど}ずつ」 means "3 times a (or per) month".
