Making jellyfish a summer delight (Photo: VNS).

Choosing fresh jellyfish is very important to ensure a tasty dish. The jellyfish should have been pushed fresh to the seashore and they have to be cleaned very carefully because their tentacles have a lot of sand in them.

To make the salad more tasty and crispy, fresh jellyfish is wrapped with tender guava leaves for 30 minutes and re-cleaned it with strong tea before mixing it with pieces of cucumber, young fresh mango, banana slices and some homemade shrimp paste.

The salad is served with rau mui (cilantro), rau ram (fragrant knotweed), marjoram, young cassava and dinh lang (polyscias fruticosa) leaves.
