What is water monkey a dish

Water monkey is not a dish.

The water monkey is not an ingredient, but a mysterious creature that lives in the water in Chinese legend. Depicted as an ape-like or quadrupedal animal, it is mentioned in folk tales and traditional culture. Its existence has not been scientifically proven and no plant or animal counterpart can be found in the real world to use as an ingredient.
