Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method


-------- ------------ --------------------------------


3 1/2 oz (approx) dried bird's nest


6 c Rich chicken stock for soup


1 lg Chicken breast


2 tb Cornstarch


2 tb Rich chicken stock for paste


1 tb Dry sherry


1/4 c Rich chicken stock


2 Egg whites


1 t Salt


2 Green onions, minced


1 tb Minced Smithfield ham





Preparation: Soak bird's nest in cold water


overnight. Drain and rinse. Spread softened nest


pieces on plate; pick out prominent pieces of


“foreign” matter (e.g. feathers, twigs) with tweezers.


Debone chicken breast, remove membrane and muscle


fiber, pound meat with cleaver handle to break down


tissue, mince chicken until it is pulp. Make medium


thick paste with cornstarch and chicken stock.





Cooking: Bring rich chicken stock for soup to boil.


Immediately add bird's nest; simmer 30 minutes. Mix


dry sherry and remaining stock; dribble slowly into


minced chicken. Lightly beat egg whites with a fork;


fold gently into chicken so they are not completely


blended. Add salt to soup. Bring soup back to boil and


add chicken mixture slowly so soup does not cool. When


soup returns to boil, it is ready to serve. You can


hold it at this point on low heat. Pour into serving


bowl, garnish with green onions and ham.What is a good recipe for bird's nest soup?
