The Steps Involved in Processing Edible Birds Nests
Processing bird’s nests is a long, tedious and labour-intensive process, which can be simplified into 4 steps:
Step 1: Soak the raw bird’s nests in plain water until they expand, then separate them into individual strands.
Step 2: Remove all the feathers from the edible nest-cement contents with a pair of forceps. This step is repeated until all the feathers are detached from the entire nest-cement.
Step 3: The nest-cement strands are then arranged into a mold.
Step 4: Finally, put the molded strands under the fans to dry.
