For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of toasted sesame oil to the dressing. If you can't find ready-to-eat jellyfish, look for dried jellyfish and rehydrate it according to package instructions. Adjust the amount of chili oil to your preference for spice. Toasted sesame seeds can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
