Named after Qing dynasty calligrapher 伊秉綬 (Yī Bǐngshòu) (1754–1815); legend has it that it was invented by his household chef, surnamed Mai. When Yi was entertaining guests at his house, the chef accidentally put cooked egg noodles into boiling oil, and was forced to scoop up the noodles and serve it with superior stock.
