Bird Nest with Coconut Milk and Rock Sugar (冰糖椰汁炖燕窝）

Last weekend, I also made some bird nest soup for ourselves. Since my return from Malaysia, I started to develop some mucus in my throat and couldn’t get rid of it. Some bird nests soup would do the cleansing job in my throat (I hope). Dried bird nest is a rather common product from my natural resources abundance hometown. I took 4 pieces and soak them overnight to soften them.

Then I put the softened bird nest with coconut milk and rock sugar in a ceramic pot and simmer it in a pot of water for 45 min.

This is eaten like a dessert but the nutrition and benefit is far greater than any other dessert.
