Jellyfish consedered as delicacy seafoood produck in Asia, especially Korea, Japan and China. Nowdays, jelly fish is popular through out the world due to japanese and korean food invention. The jellyfish is salted right after harvesting to prevent it ruined and discarded it’s poison. The salting process takes several times, then the jellyfish is ready to dried. If not dried they can spoil within a matter of hours. Once dried, they can be stored for a long period.
Jellyfish salad is the most popular dish using jellyfish. Simple sesame dressing or dipping sauce is usually served with the jellyfish salad. Since the jellyfish is had a strong fishy aromas, i boiled it twice time. The first boil is actually just blancing to reduce the aromas and the second boil is infused with fragrance spice to make the dish even better. I like to make a hot, sour and spicy dressing with sea cucumber salad. usually i use shaved zucchini within the salad, but today the supermarket rearby my place is run out of it.

Very interesting. I wouldn’t know where to buy jellyfish (unless I get one from the sea myself here). How is the texture when you eat this? You bought it dry but then how did it taste after cooking? Terima kasih!
It taste like a jelly or similiar to sea cucumber..
Try to foraging over korean market,
i though all seafood are availlable in Australia
I live in Barcelona, Spain… (They aren’t that big on oriental food than in Oz)
Oh my bad…

lucky you Sophia, i guess you can get the authentic and real saffron and truffle there
This is the newest seafood recipe I have ever seen 😀 – it looks fabulous 🙂

I love my seafood but this is one seafood I never tried, now I am intrigued on how this tastes.
How strange to eat jelly fish! Who would have thought that? It does look delish even that I don’t know what it tastes like! Thanks for the info too but I don’t think that we, Belgians, would eat it in the immediate future!
I had no idea that this unpleasant animal is also a delicacy, thank you for this post. Although, I must say I’m not going to be running to the store to try it, it kind of creeps me out.

You certainly have introduced me to some exotic and fascinating dishes, Dedy. Thank you.
This is exotic for western people, but this is a kinda normal for asian descents John
I’ve been stung by jellyfish, so I will trust that this dish is delicious!
Some sort of revenge…..hehehe
chew it like you mean it!
I had no idea jellyfish was edible! You gave a very good presentation of how to use it. This certainly would be considered an exotic dish over here in these parts.
Ini termasuk kuliner ekstrim di Indonesia ngga ya? 😀
Tergantung menurut siapa dulu mbak,
buat org yg tinggal pesisir pantai mungkin ubur2 gak begitu aneh….
🙂
I didn’t even know you could eat jellyfish…how cool! The salad looks amazing 🙂
I have not had jellyfish for a while, I love the texture of jellyfish, and yours looks extremely delicious, very tasty and loaded with flavors…beautiful presentation as always 🙂
PS. In regards to the veggie pie…feel free to add whatever your imagination desire…
Have a great week!
I never thought of eating jellyfish! I don’t know if they carry it in Greece but I would love to try it!
I have been dreaming of tasting jellyfish for quite a long time. Somehow I feel I would like its texture, but I’m sure I would most of all enjoy this salad. Thank you for making me dream 🙂
I’ve eaten jellyfish once but never prepared it at home. I’d love to try!
I love jelly fish salad. I hope I can find the dried one so I can prepare this at home. Unfortunately, I only see the ready-to-eat ones (already seasoned too) from the market. And they really don’t taste good at all. i love your version much better!
Jelly fish salad is totally new to me, I never tasted it nor have I heard of it – that´s what I love about your wonderful blog, I come her and always, always learn something new and delicious! What an intriguing recipe this is, I would so much love to have a taste of this salad!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

“Consider the jellyfish salad or sesame jellyfish. It’s a cold dish. Very simple to prepare. You can get all of the ingredients to make it including the jellyfish at any well-supplied Chinese grocery store.” Eddie Lin of Deep End Dining gives you a recipe for jellyfish salad , which sounds and looks weird but is delicious in a simultaneously sweet and salty, crunchy and slippery kind of way. Make the recipe but feel free to skip his sneaky final step—introducing it to the unwary by disguising it in a Peanut Butter and Jellyfish sandwich!
