Cook’s Note
You can buy ready-to-eat bagged jellyfish at Asian markets. It's best to use the kind that's simply brined rather than salted; if the bag comes with a packet of seasoning, discard the seasoning or use it for something else. If you find a package of jellyfish that has not been shredded, follow the instructions for rinsing and preparing it.
You can add anything you want to the salad in addition to (or instead of) the scallions and cilantro. My other variations include grated carrots, ribbons of cucumber, and crushed peanuts. Use your imagination and experiment!
