What Are White Bird’s Nest Strips?
Bird’s nest strips, also known as Yan Tiao, are pieces formed during harvesting, cleaning, processing, or transportation of bird’s nest cups. They have the same nutritional value as whole bird’s nest cups, but are usually more affordable.
White bird’s nest strips have a natural ivory-white color and a thicker texture. Compared with whole bird’s nest cups, they offer better value for daily use. This medium-size grade is easy to soak and stew, with a springy texture that holds well during cooking.

Classic Recipe: Rock Sugar White Bird’s Nest
Suggested ingredients for 1–2 servings:
- 5–8g white bird’s nest strips
- 15–20g rock sugar, or to taste
- 300ml water
- Goji berries, optional
Cooking Steps
- Soak the white bird’s nest strips in clean water for 4–6 hours. Refrigerated soaking is recommended.
- After soaking, use tweezers to gently remove any remaining fine feathers or natural impurities.
- Place the soaked bird’s nest and water into a double boiler.
- Add rock sugar and double-boil for 35–45 minutes.
- Add goji berries and continue stewing for another 5 minutes.

FAQ
1. Do white bird’s nest strips have the same nutritional value as white bird’s nest cups?
Yes. White bird’s nest strips and whole bird’s nest cups come from the same bird’s nest material. The main difference is shape, not nutritional value. For customers who focus on nutrition rather than cup appearance, strips are a great value option.
2. Which is better, white bird’s nest strips or yellow bird’s nest strips?
Both have the same nutritional value. The main difference is texture and rarity. White bird’s nest strips are springy and clean-tasting. Yellow bird’s nest strips are thicker, chewier, and rarer due to their natural golden color. Choose white bird’s nest for a lighter everyday option, or yellow bird’s nest for a chewier and more unique experience.
3. How long should white bird’s nest strips be soaked?
Soak for about 4–6 hours. Refrigerated soaking is recommended. Fully soaked bird’s nest strips usually expand about 2–3 times and become soft, semi-translucent, and ready for stewing.
4. How much should I eat each time, and how often?
A common serving is about 5–8g of dry bird’s nest strips per person. After soaking, this usually becomes about 20–30g. Many customers enjoy it 2–3 times per week as part of a long-term routine.
