Detailed Steps for Cooking Bird’s Nest and Red Date Nourishing Soup
Soak the bird’s nest for about 2-3 hours. Mine doesn’t need to be picked for feathers, it’s very clean. It’s sold by my uncle in Indonesia, who says it’s good for pregnant women and nourishing for the skin.
Put the soaked bird’s nest, three large red dates, and water in a new stew pot for one person. Don’t add sugar yet. Wait until it’s done stewing to bring out the nutrition. Stew over boiling water for an hour. Don’t stew for too long. I used a Skyline stew pot.
Don’t add too much water. It’s best not to fill it up too much, otherwise some of the steam will escape. Cover the lid and start cooking.
Add yellow rock sugar after stewing. The red dates are already soft and delicious, and they melt in your mouth. It’s easy to digest. You can also add a few goji berries according to personal preference.
