Detailed Steps for Cooking Longan Red Date Stewed Bird’s Nest
Choose bird’s nest cup, bird’s nest strip, or bird’s nest angle according to personal preference, about 5g, I used a cup
Soak in purified water for 3 hours + rehydrate
Change water midway, tear into strips for easier rehydration
Remove feathers and impurities, prepare for rinsing again to filter out impurities
Rinse and filter impurities multiple times using a sieve
Place in a double-lidded stewing cup, add purified water, remove red date pits, add longan pulp, bring to a boil over high heat for 5 minutes, then simmer over low heat, add rock sugar after 10 minutes, stew for another 5 minutes, then turn off the heat.
Pour into small cups, can be enjoyed as is, or with added coconut milk or fruits according to personal preference
