Receta Nido Soup
I got this recipe from a newsletter and thought i'd share as i have tasted one in a posh resto here and it was good.
Ingredientes
- 100g dried bird’s nest (Note: this may be hard to find, so you can make a mock one by replacing the birds nest with 1 bundle bean threads and 1 tsp honey to the ingredients)
- 100g chicken meat, cooked and flaked
- 1 pc smoked ham, chopped into really small squares
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine
- 2 egg whites
- 2 tbsp cornstarch, mixed in 1/4 cup water
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 white onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup corn
- oil
- freshly ground black pepper

- Soak the birds nest in water for 12 hrs, then drain and rinse in running water. Make sure the nest is clean. If you are using a mock version, soak bean threads for 30 minutes before using.
- Flake the chicken pieces further until it resembles a floss consistency, you can achieve this by using a mortar and pestle.
- Now sauté onions in a small amount of oil until it become translucent.
- Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil, and simmer for 5 minutes. Now using a fine sieve transfer the soup to another pot separating the sautéed onions.
- Now bring the stock again to a boil then add the birds nest, corn and ham. Simmer for 30 minutes.
- Now add the chicken bit by bit while stirring the soup then add the sherry and dissolved cornstarch.
- Lightly beat egg whites then gently fold gently making sure it will not blend with the soup. Simmer for 3 more minutes, season with freshly ground black pepper then serve.
