1. Prepare a bird's nest, soak the bird's nest in pure water for 1 hour, note that you must use pure water, if it is normal tap water or mineral water, it will affect the taste. After soaking for about 1 hour, tear the softened bird's nest into strips and replace it with pure water for about 3 hours, so that the natural fibers of the bird's nest can fully absorb the water and soften, and the bird's nest threads can be completely loosened.
2. Steam Bird's Nest
The first step is to put the soaked bird's nest into a colander and gently shake the bird's nest in the water to filter out the small hairs and pick out the small impurities in the bird's nest, then use a colander or a net to fish out the clean bird's nest and drain it.
The second step is to put the drained bird's nest into a stewing pot, add pure water, put in rock sugar, cover the stewing pot with a lid, and put it into a steamer, or if you don't have a special stewing pot, you can use a regular steamer, and then add water and cover the pot with a lid.
The third step is to use high heat to boil the water in the pot, then switch to low heat, but not too small, to ensure that the water in the pot continues to boil, and stew for about 30 minutes to 40 minutes is good.
Take special care that the water surface in the steamer is not too low, if it is too low, it is easy to burn dry, but it is not too high, if the water surface is higher than the stew pot, the water will enter the stew pot, the water surface is lower than one-third of the stew pot can be. In the process of steaming, you can look down from time to time to see if the water in the pot is down too much, if the water is not enough, you can properly supplement the boiling water, but can not add cold water.
