How to Make Tasty Jellyfish Salad
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Start by soaking the jellyfish in a bowl of clean water for about 40 minutes, then rinse several times to remove any saltiness and fishy smell. Next, bring a pot of water to a boil, blanch the jellyfish briefly, and immediately plunge it into a bowl of iced water to retain its crunch and enhance its taste.
For the herbs, wash the coriander and basil, then finely chop them. Peel and grate the carrot, cucumber, and green mango. Thinly slice the red onion and soak it in iced water with a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to reduce its pungency. Peel and finely chop the garlic, and finely chop the chili as well. Finally, crush the roasted peanuts and sesame seeds to add a fragrant, nutty crunch to the salad.
Step 2: Prepare the Dressing
In a bowl, combine fish sauce, a touch of sugar, and lemon juice in a 3:3:3 ratio. Stir well with a spoon to dissolve the sugar, then add the chopped garlic and chili to create a flavorful dressing. Adjust the taste to your preference, then mix it with the jellyfish.
Step 3: Mix the Jellyfish Salad
In a large bowl, add the jellyfish, grated carrot, mango, and cucumber, along with the sliced onion. Drizzle the sweet and sour fish sauce dressing over the ingredients and toss well to combine.

Notes on Making Jellyfish Salad
When purchasing jellyfish, opt for either fresh jellyfish or pre-packaged, pre-processed jellyfish. For pre-packaged jellyfish, pay attention to the information on the label, including the ingredients and expiration date. Choose a product with a recent production date and a long shelf life. For fresh jellyfish, feel the texture to ensure it’s firm and bouncy, indicating its freshness and quality.
