▌Preparation
Bird's nest congee with minced pork – and the steps to follow:
Step 1: Pre-process the bird's nest
Soak the bird's nest until it expands, for about 10 minutes, then drain it.
Step 2: Steam the bird's nest
Next, double-boil the bird's nest for about 20–30 minutes. When the nest has loosened, break the long strands into smaller pieces.
Note: Depending on your baby's age – as you know, the long nest strands are the most valuable part of the nest, the factor that makes the nest tastier – but if your baby is still very young, you can break them up a little
Step 3: Bring water to a boil, add the rice, and when it starts to boil, lower the heat and cook until the congee thickens.
Step 4: Fry the spring onions and stir-fry the minced pork until cooked; when the congee is almost done, add the stir-fried pork and cook for 10–15 minutes
Step 5: Add the vegetables and cook for about 15–20 minutes
Step 6: When the congee is soft and cooked, add the bird's nest and cook for about 10 minutes, then turn off the heat. Season the congee.
Step 7: Ladle the congee into a bowl; serving it warm to your baby will be tastier and more nourishing.
