Drain the soaked and cleaned bird's nest, put it in a stew pot, add a proper amount of hot water to cover it, then put the whole stew pot into the pot, inject hot water until the water level reaches half the height of the stew pot, and then stew it with slow fire. Control of Firepower When stewing bird's nest at home, you can choose the method of stewing slowly through water, and the specific stewing time is also related to the soaking time.
