Sesame Jellyfish
"Once again I'm on this try new things thing and this is one of those recipes. Not many people even know that you can eat jellyfish and it's really really good. Prepping the jelly fish can be time consuming if you can't buy it prepared, but it is well worth it."

This is a delicious, simple, but unique recipe. The only hard part is acquiring the jellyfish. The salted form of jellyfish from a local Asian market, like HMart, was the best I could get. -
LOL..great recipe eh?? It is the same one I been using for years. I like it with golden sugar too. Vancouver BC here we get it any way we want...Large Oriental population. I buy it "fresh"...actually bagged but in brine.
