How to deal with jellyfish heads?

1. First spread a large piece of jellyfish skin flat on the chopping board, cut it into filaments with a knife (the filaments should not be too thin or too thick, about 2 cm wide and 5 cm long is appropriate), then put it in a large basin, pour in cold water, rub it gently with your hands for a while, take it out, put it in the basin again and pour in cold water to soak for 8 to 10 hours for use. During this time, it is best to rub it three to four times, change the water each time, and pour out the water after rubbing. After scrubbing, soak in cold water. Such scrubbing and soaking can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It not only washes away the sand and other impurities mixed in the jellyfish skin, but also washes away the salt and alum on the jellyfish skin, and removes the bitter and salty taste of salt and alum. If you eat jellyfish skin that is not cleaned properly, you may experience symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting.

2. The soaked jellyfish skin should taste neither astringent nor salty, but have a light taste. If it still tastes astringent and salty, it means that the soaking time is not enough or the scrubbing is not thorough enough. Don't rush to enjoy it now. Continue soaking and scrubbing according to the first method until the astringent and salty taste is gone.

3. Boil water in a pot, quickly pour the thoroughly soaked jellyfish skin into the boiling water. The blanching time in the boiling water should not be too long, basically it should be completed within 20 seconds, then take it out and immediately soak it in cold boiled water to cool. If the blanching time is not controlled properly, the jellyfish skin will shrink greatly and affect the taste. The jellyfish skin processed in this way will be fully expanded, extremely crisp and tender, refreshing and delicious, and can be served cold without losing its original flavor.

4. When eating jellyfish skin, it is mainly eaten cold. Vinegar must be added when mixing it cold. Old vinegar is better. Salt, MSG and other seasonings should be added according to your taste.

5. Jellyfish skin that is black and has a fishy smell may have been rotten and spoiled, so do not eat it to avoid harming your body.
