Bird’s Nest
Method:
Soak bird’s nest till soft in filtered water. Discard water and replace with clean water. Double boiled bird’s nest and sliced American Ginseng in a clay pot for 5 hours. However, red bird nest took a longer time to cook compared to white bird nest which needs only 3 hours to cook. 10 minutes before done, add in rock sugar to taste.
The fact is, we DON’T eat the bird nest. We ate their puke! Shall we re-named it Bird Puke and not Bird Nest?
p/s:Â I cooked 4 pieces of Bird’s Nest at one go.
