Best Homemade Noodles Birds Nest Recipes

CHOW MEIN NESTS

Steps:

• Put the butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and peanut butter in a medium sized bowl.
• Microwave for about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Stir everything together.
• If you need, microwave for additional 15 seconds at a time, stirring after until smooth and creamy.
• Pour your chow mein noodles into the bowl and stir to coat with the chocolate mixture.
• Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper.
• Scoop some of the chow mein mixture onto the parchment paper and carefully move the pieces to mold them into nest shapes.
• Place about 3 egg candies onto the nests.
• Place in fridge to harden quickly, or allow to harden on counter for a couple hours.

HOMEMADE NOODLES BIRD'S NEST

Steps:

• Crush the noodles into small pieces. Roast noodles about two three minutes or until light golden brown (heat over medium heat). Stir continuously while roasting. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Then, in a thick-bottomed pan, add coconut pani or treacle (treacle is a coconut liquid, it's brown in color and similar to molasses), sugar and cinnamon powder. Bring the mixture to a boil, up to 100 C degrees (use a candy thermometer if you have one).
• Then add the hot coconut mixture to the noodles and mix well. Place 4 tablespoons of the mixture into 4 greased (use butter if you can) ice cream cups. Press down the mixture firmly. I've done this in the photo above. Let the nests cool.
• Remove from ice cream cups and place yellow candy in the center of the nests.
• Serve and enjoy.
