材料
作り方
クラゲの下処理
If using dried or salted jellyfish, soak in plenty of cold water for at least 4 hours, changing the water several times to remove excess salt. Drain thoroughly. Cut into thin, bite-sized strips about 5 cm long.
野菜を切る
Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, then slice on a diagonal into thin half-moons. Stack the perilla leaves and roll them tightly, then slice into thin ribbons(chiffonade). Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan over medium heat until lightly golden and fragrant, watching carefully to prevent burning.
ドレッシングを作る
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, and minced garlic until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
和えて雰囲出る
In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the jellyfish strips, cucumber slices, and perilla ribbons. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and sesame seeds. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 15 minutes to let flavors meld.
