Rhopilema esculentum
A tier
Rhopilema esculentum is a primary East Asian edible jellyfish species processed into salted bells for the Chinese market. After curing, the tissue turns opaque and crisp. Flavour is intentionally neutral—the species is chosen for texture and process yield. Follow pack instructions for desalting. Classic cold dishes pair shredded R. esculentum with cucumber, sesame, and black vinegar.
