This time it is steamed. The overall taste is unexpectedly sweet! 
There is also a traditional Chinese dish called Stone Salad. It originated in the Eastern Chinese province of Hubei. Patrons are supposed to suck on the small rocks to relish the rich and spicy flavour of the dish. They are instructed to suck off the flavours, then spit out the rocks.
