The double-boiling process for Madame Lai's cleaned bird's nest preserves the subtle flavor and precious nutritional value.
Submerge the dry bird's nest in room-temperature pure water for 30 - 45 minutes until the strands expand and soften completely.

Gently lift the soaked bird's nest using a fine mesh strainer and let it drain completely before cooking.

Place the nest in a ceramic bowl, add water to cover the nest. Double-boil (steam) over low heat for 20 - 30 minutes.
