The secret recipe of rock sugar bird’s nest

Overview

Rock sugar bird's nest is a relatively basic stew, but the first time I stewed it, I had a headache. I didn't know how long it would take to stew, and I didn't know how much water to put in. In the end, the stew came out with so much water that it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. I even had it in a restaurant that was not cooked and was as hard as a strand of hair, so it can be seen that it is not that simple. After eating bird's nests for 4 or 5 years, I finally came up with a set of tips that make it easy to cook bird's nests, so I decided to share the most detailed secret recipe with my sisters.

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Soak the bird's nest for 2-4 hours. Secret recipe: Don’t choose bird’s nests with triangles, horns, or leftovers. The reason is that the horns are too difficult to open, which greatly affects the taste.

  2. Many people don’t understand what Yan’s horns and scraps are. Just look at this picture and you’ll understand. The one on the left is just untrimmed, with a large bottom and large corners, while the one on the right is cleanly trimmed. Offcuts are a waste of money, heavy and inedible.

  3. Use tweezers to remove young hairs and impurities. Secret recipe: 1. Choose clean ones. If you buy bird's nests with rough hair, this step will be tiring for you. 2. The bird's nest should be drawn into shreds so that it can be heated evenly during the stew.

  4. Strain the soaked bird's nest, put it into a saucepan with water and rock sugar and steam it for one and a half hours. This step is very critical. The secret recipe: 1. Rock sugar cannot be added when the pot is boiled, because the bird's nest added in advance will be thicker. 2. It is best to use an accurate 100-110 ml of water. If the bird's nest is more than 3-5G, then add more water in equal proportions. 3. If you buy bird's nests that contain water (unscrupulous), then your water should be reduced appropriately (in fact, I do not recommend eating this kind of bird's nest, because this kind of bird's nest is prone to mold and deterioration)
