I. Soaking:

Soaking time is based on the origin of the bird's nest and the processing conditions. For dry bird's nests, it takes 1 to 2 hours to soak. After pouring off the soaking water, add 250cc of water to 5 grams of bird's nests. Add 250cc of water to cover the surface of the bird's nest and place it into the stewing pot.

Second:

Stewing bird's nests requires at least one stewing pot (inner pot) and a pot that can fit into the whole stewing pot. Put the soaked bird's nests into the stewing pot and fill it with hot water, the level of the water should be the capacity of the inner pot, and the level of the water in the inner and outer pots should be about seven minutes full. Then stew it with slow fire.

If you add other ingredients to the bird's nest, the water level in the stewing pot should not be more than 7 minutes of the stewing pot. This is because the bird's nest will expand during the simmering process, causing the water level to rise. If the water level is too high before stewing, it will overflow easily. Bird's nest can be added with other condiments such as American ginseng, Cordyceps sinensis, red dates, and so on.

Three, light:

Bird's nest should be cooked in a light manner. When stewing, those with salty taste can use pure soup to match with chicken broth; those with sweet taste can add rock sugar and so on.

Fourth, the fire:

The best way to cook bird's nest is to cook it on a gentle fire. Stewing bird's nest is done by slow simmering with water, which can better preserve the nutrients and flavor of the bird's nest. The pot should be boiled on high heat first, and then stewed on low heat. When stewing bird's nest, remember not to use a pressure cooker, you can use a special pot or crock pot for stewing. You can use electronic stew pot to stew more convenient.

Fifth, put rock sugar:

There are many people like to eat rock sugar bird's nest, bird's nest stewed before adding rock sugar or stewed together with no effect, the only salt should not be stewed at the same time with the bird's nest. The only thing you should not do is to add salt to the bird's nest at the same time. It is usually added before the bird's nest is ready.

The bird's nest is usually stewed for 20 to 25 minutes. Steamed bird's nest: 3-5 grams of dried bird's nest, rinsed and placed in a container. Soak the bird's nest in room temperature water for about 2 hours. 1 gram of water per gram of dried bird's nest is 50 c.c. After soaking, tear the bird's nest apart, and soak the bird's nest in water that can be directly stewed without pouring it out. Add your favorite ingredients, add the right amount of rock sugar and steam the bird's nest under water for 20-25 minutes, hot or cold.

Adults take 3-5 grams of bird's nest, at least 3 times a week. Children take bird's nest according to their age, 1 gram of dried bird's nest per serving for those under 6 years old, 8-12 grams of soaked bird's nest, 2 grams of dried bird's nest per serving for those under 12 years old, 3 grams of dried bird's nest per serving for those over 12 years old, so the same amount as an adult can be used to provide the nutrients needed by the body.

Generally speaking, a pure and natural bird's nest will start to melt after 30 minutes of stewing. In our country of origin, grandmothers and grandfathers used to drink the bird's nest until it melted, so we are talking about drinking bird's nest rather than eating it. In other words eat the taste or eat the nutrition.
