Recipe

American Ginseng Bird's Nest

35 minutes

Ingredients

  • · 1 pre-soaked dried bird's nest (about 5g dry weight)
  • · 3-4 slices American ginseng root
  • · 2 cups water
  • · Rock sugar to taste, or honey after cooking

Method

  1. 1Place American ginseng slices in a double-boiler bowl with water, cover and simmer for 20 minutes to draw out the flavour.
  2. 2Add the soaked bird's nest and simmer gently for a further 15 minutes.
  3. 3Add rock sugar if using, or stir in honey once slightly cooled (honey is best not boiled directly).
  4. 4Serve warm.
American ginseng (花旗参) is another ingredient with a long history in Chinese food culture, traditionally regarded as a milder, cooling counterpart to Asian ginseng. Paired with bird's nest, it makes an elegant, lightly bitter-sweet bowl often served for guests or special occasions.
