According to traditional medicine, jellyfish meat has cooling properties, helps clear heat, reduce coughs and effectively eliminate phlegm. Therefore, mixed jellyfish is not only a delicious summer dish, but also a natural remedy to help cool the body and improve health status.
When enjoying jellyfish mixed with fish sauce, what impressed customers was the crunchy taste of the jellyfish.
The jellyfish body is carefully prepared and soaked in cold water mixed with a little salt and lemon to keep it crispy and remove the fishy smell. When enjoying this dish, each piece of jellyfish is crispy and cool, and stimulates the taste buds.
With this dish, fish sauce is an indispensable ingredient to create a rich flavour for the dish. Fish sauce made from pure anchovies gives a wonderful taste, combined with a little sourness from lemon and spiciness from chili.
Besides, crispy and fragrant eggplant when combined with jellyfish, fish sauce and herbs brings a sense of balance between flavour and taste, adding richness to the dish.
In addition to the salty, strange flavour, the jellyfish dish mixed with fish sauce also scores points for the eye-catching colours of jellyfish, chili, garlic, lemon, raw mango, eggplant mixed together.
Fish sauce is prepared according to a sweet and sour formula and is slightly diluted to ensure all ingredients are submerged in fish sauce.
Fish sauce penetrates each piece of jellyfish, making the dish even more delicious. In Da Nang, you can visit Nha Lu's Kitchen located on Cu Chinh Lan Street, Thanh Khe District to enjoy and feel the special flavour of this rustic yet attractive dish.
