1. Choose a big clean bowl, put the selected dried bird's nest into it and add pure water, the water level should completely submerge the bird's nest. Then every 2 hours, change the water. The natural soaking time is 6 hours, so that the bird's nest is completely soaked and ready to use.
2. After soaking, we will find some black hairs in the snow-white bird's nest, and if it is a better quality bird's nest, the hairs will be relatively less. During the water change process, gently tear the bird's nest into strips with your hands, use chopsticks to fish out the bird's nest threads, and pour out the filtered water that contains stray hairs. Change the water again and repeat the process for 3-5 times to remove the hairs from the bird's nest. If you find a lot of hairs and the bird's nest bars are very short and messy, it means the quality of the bird's nest is not in place. Use pure water to clean the bird's nest, if it is tap water at home, it can be filtered by a water purifier. After 6 hours of natural soaking with pure water, the normal hair of the bird's nest can be up to about 10 times more than that of the bird's nest. Using chopsticks to pick up the bird's nest, the color is crystal clear, pure and translucent as well.
3. Drain the bird's nest with a tightly closed drain and set aside.
4. Wash the rock sugar with cold water first, then pour it into a clean container, add pure water and boil it, and spend the rock sugar completely. The proportion of rock sugar and water can be adjusted according to personal preference, you can also use honey instead of rock sugar.
5. Pour the boiled rock sugar water into the bird's nest stewing pot, and the water level is 80% of the stewing pot.
6. Pour the remaining rock sugar water into the spare bird's nest, and again use the secret drain to control the water, and then put the bird's nest into the stewing pot according to the even portion, cover the stewing pot with the lid, and put it into the steamer basket to steam on high heat for 15 minutes.
7. Remove the steamed bird's nest from the steamer and serve at the appropriate temperature.
