Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dried salted jellyfish
- 1000 milliliters boiling water
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 stalks scallions
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon chili oil (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the dried salted jellyfish thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt.
Place the jellyfish in a large bowl and pour boiling water over it. Let it soak for 10 minutes to rehydrate and soften.
Drain the jellyfish and rinse again with cold water. Slice into thin strips if not pre-sliced.
Peel and finely mince the garlic. Thinly slice the scallions.
In a small mixing bowl, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, minced garlic, and chili oil (if using). Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
Transfer the sliced jellyfish to a clean bowl. Pour the dressing over the jellyfish and toss well to coat.
Sprinkle sliced scallions and sesame seeds over the top as garnish.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve cold as an appetizer or side dish.
