I got this Soup of Bird Nest Ball recipe originally from Winna, my good high school friend. After having kids and especially after our kids started to eat solid, we would call each other a lot exchanging recipes and tips of kids health. But, this recipe has been modified to tailor my family’s taste.
INGREDIENTS:
SOUP: Boil a can of chicken/beef broth or you can also boil chicken bone
BIRD NEST BALL: 1lbs of minced pork meat (can use chicken or beef), soak lily bean thread in bowl of water then cut into 1cm length, 1 egg, 1 carrot cut into very small dices, 1 piece of scallion cut into thin slices, soy sauce, minced garlic and pepper.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Mix all bird nest ball ingredients into a bowl, then shape into medium size balls. Put into the boiling soup. Once boiled, pour the soup and bird nest balls into a bowl. Add some cilantro or shallot if prefer. Ready to serve for 5 people.
TIPS:
If cooking this for kids, for those who are having a hard time eating veggies, you can also add minced broccoli.
