Soup, glorious soup...

I have never cook bird nest soup for my kids. What type of bird nest should I choose? I just have to add red dated, water and rock sugar, correct? I need the cooking method and also if I need to add other ingredients. Thank you.

Hi Kiasimom,


Any tips for making the peanuts super soft? (those texture like braised peanuts?) :love:

I usually buy peanuts meant for soup (confirmed by the shopkeeper) No matter how hard I tried my peanuts are always so crunchy. :stupid:

Cook using a pressure cooker. Peanuts guaranteed to be soft within an hour.

yes, use a pressure cooker. But prior to that, soak the peanuts in water for an hour.
