Dried jellyfish can be found in Chinese markets. It has quite a crispy texture, and picks up the flavor of the oils/dressing you add to it. This is a good recipe for beginners as it mixes the jelly fish with more familiar flavors.
Prep:60m Cook:20m Servings:6


Ingredients

* 1/2 lb Dried salted whole jellyfish
* 1 1-pound daikon radish
* 2 teaspoons Salt
* 1/2 large Chicken breast
* 1/2 Egg white
* 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
* 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
* 1/2 teaspoon Salt
* 1 1/2 teaspoon Sugar
* 2 teaspoons Dry sherry
* 3 tablespoons Peanut oil
* 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
* 3 Scallions


Directions

* Soak the jellyfish in a large bowl of cold water for 24 hours changing the water a couple of times.
* Peel the daikon with a vegetable peeler; slice thinly; stack slices and cut into matchstick shreds.
* Put into a mixing bowl toss with the 2 teaspoons of salt and let stand 1 hour.
* Meanwhile drain water from jellyfish. Pour boiling water over the jellyfish and let stand for 15 seconds.
* Drain and run under cold water.
* Set aside.
* Bone the chicken breast and slice thinly; cut slices into shreds.
* Mix chicken with the egg white cornstarch and teaspoon of sesame oil; refrigerate for 30 minutes.
* While the chicken is marinating cut jellyfish into the thinnest possible shreds by rolling up each sheet and slicing it thinly.
* Place in a large bowl.
* Wring most of the moisture from the daikon shreds; add to the bowl with the jellyfish.
* Heat 3 cups water in a saucepan.
* When boiling turn off the heat and add the chicken shreds stirring to separate the pieces. Simmer for 1 minute.
* Drain and rinse under cold water. Drain and add to the bowl with the jellyfish.
* Blend the salt and sugar with the wine until they dissolve.
* Heat the oils in a saucepan and add the seasoned wine. It will sputter and evaporate.
* When the oil is hot++don't let it smoke++turn off the heat and add the scallions. Cool. Toss with the salad just before serving.

noooo... i don't think i want to eat jellyfish... although it would be easy to harvest my own at certain times of the year when they're so thick you can't even walk in the water! :lol
