SESAME JELLYFISH SALAD
I learned to love sesame-flavoured jellyfish from having it at Chinese banquets growing up. Now I make this variation of jellyfish salad with chopped or grated veggies and a spicy sesame sauce. This makes a refreshing and delicious side dish or Chinese-style shared dish. Jellyfish is flavourless, but it is delightfully crunchy and lends itself to various flavour combinations. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

MARINATED JELLYFISH WITH CUCUMBER SALAD
Steps:
- To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and set over high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and immediately turn off the heat. Allow the marinade to cool to room temperature.
- Prepare an ice bath and set aside. Place the jellyfish in another bowl under cold running water for 20 minutes to remove the excess salt. Bring a pot of water to a boil and quickly blanch the jellyfish, just 1 or 2 seconds. Remove and immediately submerge the jellyfish in the ice bath. Drain well and combine the jellyfish with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
- To make the salad, divide the cucumbers among 4 shallow bowls, arranging them in a line in the center. In each bowl, place one-fourth of the carrots and jicama on opposite sides of the cucumber.
- Drain the jellyfish from the marinade; reserve the marinade. Top the vegetables with one-fourth of the jellyfish, followed by 2 tablespoons of the reserved marinade, 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil, 1/8 teaspoon of the chili oil, 1/8 teaspoon of the sesame seeds, and one-fourth of the scallions. Finish the bowls with 3 or 4 cilantro leaves.
Tips:
- Choosing the Right Jellyfish: Opt for high-quality jellyfish that is free from any unpleasant odor. Look for jellyfish with a clear and firm texture.
- Marinating the Jellyfish: Use a flavorful marinade to enhance the taste of the jellyfish. Experiment with different combinations of spices, herbs, and sauces to create a marinade that suits your preference.
- Balancing the Flavors: When preparing the cucumber salad, ensure that the flavors are well-balanced. Adjust the amount of vinegar, sugar, and salt to achieve a harmonious blend of flavors.
- Chilling Time: Allow the marinated jellyfish and cucumber salad to chill in the refrigerator for an extended period to enhance their flavors and textures.
