Method

Preparation of Jellyfish

  1. 1

    Soak the Jellyfish

    In a bowl, combine the dried jellyfish with water. Make sure the jellyfish is fully submerged. Let it soak for 6-8 hours, or overnight, to rehydrate.

  2. 2

    Salting the Jellyfish

    Once rehydrated, drain the jellyfish and rinse it under cold water. Sprinkle the salt evenly over the jellyfish and mix thoroughly. Let it sit for about 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the salt to penetrate.

  3. 3

    Rinse Again

    After the salting period, rinse the jellyfish under cold water again to remove any excess salt. Drain well and set aside.

Salad Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare Vegetables

    Thinly slice the cucumber and carrot into matchstick-sized pieces. Set aside.

  2. 5

    Make the Dressing

    In a bowl, mix together the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and minced garlic (you can mince the garlic using a garlic press or finely chop it). Adjust the flavor with chili oil to your liking.

  3. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared jellyfish, cucumber, and carrot. Pour the dressing over the top and toss gently to coat everything evenly.

  4. 7

    Garnish

    Sprinkle sesame seeds and fresh cilantro over the salad for garnish.
