Precautions for bird's nest
(1) Foam the bird's nest with cold water, not hot water
(2) The best way to stew bird's nest is to separate water. It is not suitable to use pot, boil and other methods to prevent the loss of nutrients.
(3) If you want to eat sweet bird's nest, you'd better match it with ice sugar instead of white sugar and brown sugar.
(4) Bird's nest should be hairy, and care should be taken not to damage the strips. The stewed strips will taste better.
(5) The bird's nest should be stewed in pure soup. The best combination is chicken soup and mushroom soup, coconut juice, almond juice and ice sugar water.
(6) Bird's nest is suitable for both salty and sweet, but from all aspects, sweets are better. Usually the same amount of dry bird's nest as sweet food is about 1 / 3 more than as salty food.
(7) Stewed bird's nests can be refrigerated for one week. Dry bird's nests that are not stewed are also suitable to be refrigerated to prevent oxidation and discoloration in the air (if some bird's nests are moldy at room temperature, it means that they have been sprayed with water)
