Bird's nest soup - It is good for your skin and health and will keep you looking young, considered a delicacy in Chinese cuisine in particular. Although there are several other cultures in Southeast Asia that also believe in the home-remedy benefits of this soup. The particular nests used are most often from cave swifts, who also use saliva to help put the nests together. These are generally very expensive, making this a "high class" delicacy that not many get to enjoy. Metabolism and Immune System Bird's nest soup also has health benefits for metabolism and the immune system.These are traditionally said to be most effective in young children (particularly sickly children) and the elderly, although studies from the Chinese University at Hong Kong suggest that some benefits may exist for people of all ages. In addition to the boosted immune system, There are some results suggesting a positive benefit when it comes to regulating metabolism.

Helpful Tips: 1) Before moving into a new house. I used conventional oven doesn't heat up at all. So I have to set oven at 200°C temperature, bake one hour each side, until are glazed, browned, and tender, flipping over half-way through spoon off and discard the oil and brushing honey roast them for further 20 minutes each side. PS understand that everyone's oven work differently. Now I used Beko Built-in Oven, Keep the oven rack adjusted to the middle position. Bake at 150°C for 35 minutes then increase to 170°C for 5 minutes each size or until the edges are brown. 2) Everyone's oven is different. PLEASE UNDERSTAND YOUR OVEN! If you are using toaster oven, heat the low temperature 150 -175°C and bake for 15 minutes each side, after brushing honey another 5 mins to go. (Turn off the fan) and always stand to one side of the oven before you open it. you know why as you probably had a face full of burning hot steam already. Clean the oven regularly, otherwise you will be cooking for the fire brigade.
3) If something catches fire in the oven - turn off the power /gas and don't open the door until fire goes out never throw water into the oven to put out the flames! Pork jerky and Beef jerky is the same way to go but just change the minced for beef and add more black pepper, oyster sauce instead of char siu sauce, chinese five spice, barbecue sauce for smoke flavor and a some chili if you like hot spicy flavour. When you take out the pork jerky in the fridge just re-heating in microwave for 30 seconds. Freezer re-heating for 1:30 to 2 minutes. Good Luck!
