Steps for Cooking Coconut Milk Bird’s Nest Recipe
Soak the dried bird’s nest for 2-4 hours. Secret tip: use cold water to soak to avoid nutrient loss. If the soaking water is cloudy, it is fake bird’s nest brushed with starch.
Pick out impurities and filter. Secret tip: do not buy bird’s nest with feathers. The nutrients in bird’s nest are water-soluble. Picking and tossing repeatedly will cause nutrient loss. Moreover, bird’s nest with feathers needs to be sterilized with ozone, which cannot be done thoroughly at home. It is better to buy high-quality bird’s nest from the factory, which is not much more expensive.
Separate the bird’s nest strand by strand. Secret tip: this step can tell whether the bird’s nest has been repaired. If it splits into two halves when soaked and the other half is very short and broken, it has been repaired.
Add coconut milk, rock sugar, bird’s nest and water. Secret tip: it is better to buy imported coconut milk, not the concentrated one, because it has a taste of preservatives. The dried powder is more delicious. Stir well when stewing, otherwise the coconut milk will clump after cooking.
Set the stewing time to 1.5 hours. Secret tip: natural gas stoves and glass stew pots can also be used to stew, but slow stewing with water is the most delicious. It can also keep warm automatically, which is more convenient.
It’s really fragrant. It’s so happy to have a bowl before bed in autumn.
