Cut the jelly into 2×5×1cm pieces. Slice the cucumber and carrot diagonally, julienne the onion and perilla leaves, and tear the garland chrysanthemum greens into bite-sized pieces. Slice the red chili pepper into bite-sized pieces. Mix the seasoning ingredients to make the sauce. Lay the vegetables on the bottom of a plate, place the jelly on top, and pour the seasoning sauce over it. This completes a delicious and simple acorn jelly salad. When mixing jelly salads or fresh vegetable pickles, if you mix them by hand, the vegetables may wilt or the jelly may easily break. The trick is to mix lightly and quickly using chopsticks or a spatula.
