Tips for Stewing Bird's Nest

1. Soaking Time

Due to the different types of bird's nests and harvesting time, the soaking time for the hair varies greatly. For example, it only takes 2 hours to soak the hair, but it takes 4-8 hours to soak the hair of Tube Swallows. Besides, nests picked during rainy season contain certain amount of moisture and thus are quicker than those picked in other seasons. Therefore, when purchasing bird's nests, it is important to ask about the species and the harvesting season and be flexible in adjusting the soaking time.

2. Stewing Time

When the bird's nests are fully soaked, they are usually stewed for about 30 minutes. However, for example, bird's nests picked during the rainy season and sparse fixtures only need to be stewed for about 20 minutes.

Here is another summary. The thicker the swallows, the longer the hair soaking time and stewing time. Conversely, it takes less time.

3. Fire

The stewing cups used for stewing bird's nests, most of which are made of glass and ceramics, are electric stewers. You just need to add the ingredients and set the time. The heat is intelligently regulated. However, if we use the stove to stew, we can heat it as follows: cook on high until it boils, wait for three minutes, turn off the heat and continue to stew for about 20 minutes. The bird's nest stewed in this way has a better flavor and does not melt easily.

4. Ingredients in the pot time

For this question, we should differentiate according to different ingredients. The most common bird's nest recipes are Milk Bird's Nest and Rock Sugar Bird's Nest. These two ingredients can be consumed directly, so you can put them in the pot five minutes before serving. The same ingredients include red dates and longan. Ingredients such as lotus seeds and bird's nest also need to be cooked for consumption. The ingredients should be added to the pot together with the bird's nest. The same applicable ingredients include lily and papaya.
