The jellyfish should feel flexible once it’s soaked long enough. Soaking the jellyfish will remove the salt that it was preserved with.

Since 1 clove of garlic usually yields 1/2 teaspoon (1. 4 g) of minced garlic, you’ll need about 12 cloves.

If you don’t have grapeseed oil, you could use coconut or olive oil. Avoid leaving the garlic and green onions unattended because they can burn easily.

The jellyfish in the package will probably already be sliced into strips. If it isn’t, cut it into long thin strips about 0. 8 inches (2 centimeters) wide.

The sesame oil will give the salad a slightly smoky, nutty taste. Store the leftover jellyfish salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. If you’d like to rewarm the salad, microwave it in a microwave-safe container in 30-second increments until it’s as hot as you like.

Once the jellyfish has soaked enough, it will feel flexible. Soaking the jellyfish will also remove excess salt.

Use Russet or your favorite variety of potatoes.

Use a pot that’s at least 2-quarts (1. 9 liters) in size. To test if the potatoes are tender, insert a fork or knife into a potato chunk. You should be able to easily slide it in and out if it’s finished cooking.

If you prefer, you can use a potato ricer or electric mixer instead of a potato masher.

1 tablespoon (15 ml) toasted sesame oil 3 tablespoons (9 g) finely sliced fresh spring onions 1 teaspoon (2 g) grated fresh ginger 2 large handfuls finely chopped fresh cilantro 2 teaspoons (10 ml) purchased sweet chili dipping sauce

Ensure that the jellyfish mixture isn’t spread across the entire disk of mashed potato mixture or the jellyfish filling may seep out. Leave about 0. 8 inches (2 centimeters) of space around the edges.

The bottom of the burgers should become golden brown.

The jellyfish and mashed potato are already cooked, so you just need to brown the outsides of the burger.

Store the leftover jellyfish burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. To reheat the burgers, place them in a skillet over medium-low heat until they’re warmed throughout.
