I still remember this day well as it was the first time I tried jellyfish salad — the team of Our Tasty Travels was at dim sum with out of country travel friends visiting and the server said jellyfish was one of the day’s specialties. This pretty simple dish is typically made with rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and is sometimes topped with sesame seeds. This particular version I tried had thinly sliced carrots, peppers, and cucumbers. I am not 100% sold on it as I didn’t get a ton of flavor, just the very chewy texture.
Have you tried jellyfish salad? Thoughts on this dish? Love it or skip it?

Thanks but no thanks. I think I will pass on this one…
My first time trying was a few years before Erin’s…I was at a big group dinner for work in Shanghai, and I decided that I would try everything they brought out, without asking what anything was. When the jellyfish came out, I thought it was noodles and took a big portion. One bite, and the texture made me do a triple-take! But honestly, flavor-wise, they weren’t bad.
