Instructions

Soaking the Bird's Nest

Place the baking soda in a large bowl, add hot water that is about eighty percent of a rolling boil to dissolve, add the prepared bird's nest and let it soak briefly, then rinse the bird's nest twice with hot water. Place it in a strainer and use a small plate to squeeze out the excess water, then pour it into a large lotus-leaf bowl.

Sprinkling the Shreds

Cut the cooked lean ham and bok choy into fine shreds and sprinkle them evenly over the bird's nest.

Pouring the Soup

Place the chicken broth in a saucepan, add the fine salt, MSG, Shaoxing wine, and Sichuan pepper water, bring to a boil, and skim off the foam. Pour the broth into another bowl. Bring both bowls to the table together and pour the hot broth over the bird's nest bowl. Serve immediately.
