Should I use cold water or hot water to stew bird's nest?

After the bird's nest is soaked, it can be placed in a stewing pot for cooking. You can add an appropriate amount of hot water, then cover the lid and add other seasonings. The bird's nest will expand during the production process, so you must be careful not to add too much water to avoid waste caused by water tumbling. There are many ways to cook bird's nest, such as rock sugar bird's nest, stewed bird's nest, etc., which have a good effect in promoting absorption and health care.
