How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh jellyfish
- The jellyfish you buy at the supermarket or market must have clear labels and origins because jellyfish that have been properly processed can eliminate some toxins.
- When purchasing, you should carefully check the expiration date, brand, and ensure that the packaging is intact.
- Do not choose expired products, jellyfish showing signs of spoilage, with a cloudy body, strange odor, or packaging with signs of opening.
How to choose delicious raw mangoes
- You should buy mangoes that are very green and sour so that the finished dish will be crispier and more appealing. If you do not like too much sourness, you can choose four-season mangoes or sticky mangoes.
- Good green mangoes will have a hard skin, dark green color, a layer of white powder, fresh stems, and will ooze latex when picked.
- You should not choose fruits with green skin but soft because these are often unripe fruits that have been left for a long time. These fruits will have a bland taste, and the flesh will be mushy. Also, do not choose mangoes that show signs of ripening because when mixed in salad, the mangoes will get bruised and not tasty.
How to choose fresh and delicious onions
- You should choose onions that have thin, shiny, evenly colored skins, feel dry and firm when touched.
- Onions with many long root strands indicate freshness. In contrast, those that have completely lost their roots should not be chosen as they are older, less tasty, and spoil faster.
- Avoid buying onions that have sprouted, with hard and soft spots, and uneven colors. These are not fresh onions and may taste bitter.
How to choose fresh and delicious cucumbers
- You should choose cucumbers that have a uniform green color, without yellow spots or bruises, as these are likely to have been sprayed with pesticides or are old and about to spoil.
- Good cucumbers will have a slender, elongated shape, with a solid and crunchier texture compared to round, short cucumbers.
- Do not buy cucumbers that are crooked, have many bumps on the skin, or show signs of decay.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Fresh and delicious carrots should be of moderate size, straight and tapered towards the tail, with smooth skin, feel firm and slightly hard.
- Choose those with bright, deep orange color, and fresh green leaves tightly attached to the carrot body.
- Avoid choosing carrots with dry, wilted tops, bruised bodies, leaking water, showing dark spots, and feeling soft when pressed.
How to prepare Jellyfish Salad with Onion

Prepare the jellyfish
First, soak the jellyfish in a basin of water for about 30 minutes. Then, rinse thoroughly several times with water to remove the salty taste, and then drain all the water.
Next, blanch the jellyfish in boiling water for about 5 – 10 seconds, then remove it to a colander to drain.
Tip:- Do not blanch the jellyfish too long in boiling water as it will cause the jellyfish to shrink and lose its taste.
- After blanching, soaking the jellyfish in cold ice water will help it become crispier and tastier.
-
Prepare the vegetables
Peel the green mango, carrot, and cucumber, wash them thoroughly, and then shred them.
Peel the onion and slice it thinly. Then, soak the onion in a bowl of ice water for about 10 minutes to reduce its pungency.
For the peanuts and white sesame, roast them until fragrant on low heat and then let them cool.
Wash the herbs, drain them, and then chop them finely.
Finally, place all the jellyfish, mango, carrot, and onion on a plate, cover tightly with food wrap, and then store in the refrigerator refrigerator to keep the ingredients crisp and cool.

Mixed Fish Sauce for Salad
Add to a bowl: 3 tablespoons of fish sauce, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 3 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of minced chili, mix well until the ingredients are combined.
-
Mix the Salad
Put all the pre-prepared ingredients into a large bowl. Then, drizzle the mixed fish sauce over, and mix well. You can adjust the seasoning to your taste before serving it on a plate.
Finally, sprinkle some crushed roasted peanuts and toasted sesame seeds on top of the salad to enjoy.
