Photo: Jellyfish salad at Highway 4 in Hanoi
Today I ate a mindboggling salted jellyfish salad at Highway 4 in Hanoi. The jellyfish was nothing like anything I’d ever had in the States – usually jellyfish is yellow, not clear white with spots, and its consistency is kind of chewy-crunchy. The salted jellyfish I had today was lighter in its crunchiness without the chewiness, and the herb salad and marinade had a sweet, savory and sour mix of familiar, perfectly executed Viet flavors.
This was the best salad I’ve ever had.
