Ingredients:
1) Water approximately 500ml
2) Bird Nest approximately 50gram
3) Red Dates, 6-7 pieces
4) Goji berries, 15gram
5) Ginseng, 2 slices
6) Cane sugar, 40 gram

Here's how you can hand-clean the bird nest using a sharp-end toothpick.

The feathers and other residues are collected in another bowl of clean water.

This bowl of hand-cleaned bird nest is worth about RM300 (USD80.00).

This is the claypot slow cooker used for steaming the bird nest soup.

About 60 gram of bird nest is mixed with roughly 500 ml of water.

Red dates are added to give it some natural sweetness.

Instead of using normal refined white sugar, cane sugar is a a much healthier and tastier alternative.

Add Goji berries into the mixture. These berries are good for eyesight.

Next, we'll add 2 slices of ginseng roots.

Set the slow cooker to 1 hour.

And here we have, hot steaming bird nest soup ready to serve.
