Novices will always have various problems in stewing bird's nest. The longest problem is either unclear time control or poor water control, resulting in stewed bird's nest being either too hard or too soft, too thin or too dry.
If you want to eat a bowl of bird's nest, start with soaking your hair. The step of soaking is very important, which is directly related to the taste of bird's nest. Put the bird's nest in a bowl, add enough pure water (it has never touched the bird's nest at all) and soak it for 3-4 hours. Seeing that the bird's nest is translucent, you can tear it along with your hands. Remember to change the water first and tear it in a thick position such as the corner of bird's nest.
You still need to pick hair after soaking bird's nest. There is nothing to say. Just be careful not to shake your hands, and be careful not to break the cloth. Stewed bird's nest is easy to be mixed with water and has no feeling of Q-bomb. Tear the strips along the texture of bird's nest, which is very easy to tear. If you don't tear along the grain, it will be difficult to tear, so don't tear hard.
After soaking the torn bird's nest and draining the water, you can enter the cooking step. The key to putting bird's nest in the stew pot is to add water. Purified water is 2-3 cm higher than the surface of bird's nest, or more accurately, the ratio of bird's nest to water is 1: 40, those who like to eat thin are 1: 50, and those who like dry are 65438.
The stewing time of bird's nest is also very important. If the bird's nest is stewed with low fire, the stewing time should be 30-40 minutes, and the longest time should not exceed 40 minutes, which will make the bird's nest stew rotten and lose its flavor. If the health pot is stewed in transparent water, it can be observed that the soup is thick and the noodles are completely transparent. Continue stewing for 5- 10 minutes and you can eat it.
