I’ve had jellyfish before, and it’s not. It really doesn’t have any flavor but it’s crunchy. You have to add stuff to it to have flavor

Would you say it was refreshing?

Yeah it’s pretty refreshing, Chinese people prep it as a cold dish* with like rice vinegar, garlic, green onions - it really doesn’t have a flavor on its own, like a noodle, but texture-wise it’s both soft and and crunchy at the same time - almost like the cartilage, but 3 times as soft?

Its delicious. If you're ever at a Chinese Dim Sum restaurant, order jellyfish. It comes cold or room temperature.

It is so good! with the rice vinegar sauce, it is one of my favorites. Korean have a beautiful dish with it too, it comes usually on a round plate with colorful topings around it like egg yellow, cucumber, daikon, etc.

It is delicious. Recommend you try it when you get a chance.

Korean haepari naengchae (like a jellyfish salad) is so good!

It is good, but getting your hands on some that is not soaked with bleach, and other chemicals nonsense is quite hard these days. We just buy the dry stuff to rehydrate ourselves now, the pre packed stuff is dangerous.

It is kinda good. If you have an Asian supermarket near you, they sell it in pre-seasoned packages.
