Ready To Go Full “Jelly”?

Here you go – the latest food trend – ready to give it a try?

It’s the new ingredient on menus around the world: jellyfish! As you can see above, a jellyfish salad with sesame seeds looks inviting – because jelly fish is one of the hottest food crazes right now, and how about some jellyfish tempura?

That looks pretty tasty as well – Jellyfish are considered one of the “foods of the future” because they are plentiful and sustainable…my wife, son and I had a great Omakase meal at Sugarfish in Beverly Hills, and one of our early dishes was this marinated jellyfish dish:

Yes, it had a gelatinous mouth feel with a bit of a crunchy bite as well, but other than that it just had a slightly briny seawater feel – and it was great!

I was a bit guilty, since I’ve seen jellyfish in all of their majesty:

Jellyfish Are The Sustainable Seafood Of The Future!

With so many stories about the sustainability of sea life, it was interesting to read that jellyfish can replenish even when captured, as they leave new eggs along the ocean’s floor…so they are one of the more sustainable foods from the ocean!

This “shredded radish with jellyfish” recipe is another example of how to utilize jellyfish, and Chefs around the world have begun to experiment with more ways to serve it.

Here’s a recipe I found for “sesame jellyfish salad” on Food.com:

• ¹⁄₂lb jellyfish
• 2 teaspoons  light soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons Chinese white rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons  sugar
• 3 tablespoons  sesame seeds

• Rinse very well in cold water and drain. Put in a stainless steel bowl and cover with boiling water for 15 minutes or until tender. Then drain rinse with cold water for 6 minutes. If you are not using the jelly fish right away, you can soak in the frig, but change the water ever hour or so. Drain thoroughly and blot dry with paper towel.
• Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl.
• Let sit 30 minutes.
• Just before serving, garnish with sesame seeds.
• You may heat this recipe if you like; just stir fry it in a wok about 3 minutes, but it is best served cold.

Thanks Food.com for a great recipe – check out more of what the have to offer!

A quick search online showed me many places to order Jellyfish to your house – I think I am going to try it!

I also found a great picture of a chicken salad with jellyfish – I think Jellyfish can be added to more traditional recipes to ease us into it – used as a new texture to traditional foods:

Of course, my wife and I visited the incredible Monterey Bay Aquarium in California, where they have the most amazing jellyfish exhibit:

Most of the recipes for Jellyfish were Asian-flavored, perhaps due their willingness to try different things…like ramen buns!

Yes, a bun made from ramen noodles and I’ve eaten one and loved it!

And if you are still thinking about ramen, how about his:
