The steps to properly stew bird's nest are as follows:
Materials to prepare: bird's nest, stewing pot, tweezers, spoons, warm boiled water and so on.
2. Soaking thoroughly removes the fine bird's nest hairs that are hidden in the bird's nest, so that the bird's nest is fully absorbed by the water and is easier to stew.
3. When you add water to the soaked bird's nest, you will find that there are some fine bird's nest hairs floating around, just use tweezers to pick them out a little bit, or add a lot of water to completely submerge the bird's nest so that the fine hairs will float on the surface, and then you can scoop them out with a spoon.
4. Stewing must be done under water, remember not to put it into the pot directly, it is easy to paste off, usually add warm water not more than a little bit of bird's nest, and put it into a special bird's nest stewing pot for 30 minutes.
Stewing bird's nest notes:
1, bird's nest must be soaked in pure water, because the quality of tap water is not the same as that of the hard soaking rate is certainly not as good as pure water.
2, bird's nest soaking time must be controlled, because the bird's nest itself is water-soluble proteins, and then soaking and stewing process will have a different degree of hydration, remember not to soak too long.
3, after the bird's nest is soaked and ready, it must be torn into a strip according to the grain, so that each bird's nest is in full contact with the water, and the secondary hair head is maximized, and there is also a long pull.
4. The water level of the stewed bird's nest is very important, and it is recommended that the water just misses the bird's nest, or is about 1cm above the bird's nest, and the stew comes out best.
5, the stewing fire is very important, must be stewed in water, large fire boil after turning the smallest slow stew for about 20 minutes can be.
6, remember not to smother after the ton, do not keep warm all night.
