Legend has it that during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a royal cook in the imperial palace who was deeply appreciated by Empress Dowager Cixi, but this person was very ambitious and wanted to become an official. One day he prepared a table of dishes for Cixi, the name of each dish showed that he wanted to wear the official out of the palace, Empress Dowager Cixi understood his idea, bent on recommending him, let him make a good dish, ordered someone to give it to the emperor, the emperor did not feel delicious after tasting, then a small eunuch around the emperor said that there is a divine chef in the folk, the dish is very good, the emperor listened, he went out of the palace to taste, after tasting, he felt that the craft was indeed worthy of the name. After returning to the palace, he recommended it to Empress Dowager Cixi, who herself was partial to food, and I heard that there was such a divine chef in the folk who did not believe that the imperial kitchen of the deep palace was inferior to a folk cook, so he let people recruit him into the palace and compare with the imperial kitchen. After the cook entered the palace and competed with the imperial chef, after a few dishes, the two of them did not distinguish between high and low, Cixi had a plan and said: "I want to eat, looking at the brown yellow, the entrance is smooth; I can swallow the food without chewing." "This can not be difficult to spoil the imperial kitchen, the folk god chef moved, returned to the kitchen to get eggs, took out the yolk plus mung bean flour and sugar in the pot and stir-fried, half an hour later to bring this dish to the empress dowager Cixi, empress dowager Cixi looked at the golden yellow bread, overjoyed, it is exactly the food she imagined, after tasting, suddenly felt sweet and delicious, flexible and smooth, really without chewing can be swallowed delicious. Cixi Dayue asked the name of this dish, and the cook said that this is a dish from our hometown, because it is "non-stick plate, non-stick chopsticks, non-stick teeth", so it is named "three non-stick". Cixi then asked where the cook was from, and the cook informed empress dowager that She was from "Anyang, Henan" and was making a living as a cook in the capital, and Cixi recruited the cook into the palace to become a royal cook. Since then, the fame of the three non-sticks has spread from Anyang to the whole country.
