Fresh bird's nest may be a familiar idea to some people, but many are still completely unfamiliar with this type of nest. How does fresh bird's nest differ from raw bird's nest, refined bird's nest…? And if you buy fresh bird's nest, how should you choose to ensure quality? Let's find out together with Yến Sào Sài Gòn!
What is fresh bird's nest?
Many people think fresh bird's nest means young raw nests, or nests that have just been harvested. In fact, however, fresh bird's nest is pure raw bird's nest that has been cleaned. In other words, after harvesting, raw bird's nest is dried and soaked in water to remove impurities. After going through the cleaning steps and being left relatively drained, fresh bird's nest is obtained.
How to choose quality fresh bird's nest
Even when drained, fresh bird's nest still feels moist in the hand. With the naked eye you can also see each strand clearly (except the base of the nest). These are also characteristics that help you easily recognise quality fresh bird's nest by:
– Observing whether each nest strand can be seen clearly.
– When gently squeezed, if the nest falls apart completely, it has had agar added to increase its weight. A nest that is too hard may have had glass noodles or fish maw added.
– Fresh bird's nest must normally be stored in the refrigerator, so checking its smell is somewhat difficult. But when prepared, it must have the slightly fishy smell characteristic of bird's nest.
Note: When preparing fresh bird's nest, you should not cook it for too long or over too high a heat.
