The correct soaking method for bird's nest is as follows:?

1, put the dried bird's nest into a container filled with pure water, as much water as possible, because the bird's nest will be swollen during the soaking process.

2. Soak the bird's nest for two hours and change the water once, and then tear the bird's nest into strips along the grain. The corners of the bird's nest are the load-bearing part of the bird's nest, so when the swiftlet spits on the building, the concentration of saliva is greater, and it takes a little longer.

3. After tearing the bird's nest into strips, you can wash off some fine hairs and impurities with a few more passes of water, and then soak it in clean, pure water for another 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours.

4. Fish out the soaked bird's nest, use both hands to squeeze the water out of the bird's nest and put it into a clean dish or stewing pot. Most of the tutorials teach you to drain the water with a slotted spoon, but I don't like it too much because it's almost impossible to drain it with a slotted spoon until you squeeze it and no more water comes out, and it will take a very long time, so it's much more convenient to use both hands directly to squeeze it.

Bird's nest

Bird's nest, also known as bird's nest, bird's nest root, bird's nest vegetables, is a nest made of saliva secreted by some of the rainbirds of the Rainbird family of the order Rainbird and several species of swiftlets of the genus Swiftlet, mixed with other substances. Bird's nests can be classified into two types according to the nesting place, namely, "House Bird's Nest" and "Cave Bird's Nest". Cave Bird's Nests are different in color due to the influence of minerals, and can be divided into White Bird's Nest, Yellow Bird's Nest and Red Bird's Nest, while House Bird's Nest can be divided into only Ivory White color. The so-called "Blood Bird's Nest" on the market is made from artificially farmed Bird's Nest through the "guano fumigation method".

The easiest way to cook bird's nest is to soak the bird's nest in a bowl of pure water for a different period of time according to different varieties of bird's nests, as the nutrients are dissolved in the water when the bird's nests are soaked, don't pour out the water to clean the bird's nests, and then simmer it with this bowl of water for a different period of time on a low flame. After stewing, it can be eaten with rock sugar, milk, honey and soy milk.
