When he was drunk, he accidentally poured the wine in the cup into the boiling duck pot, and the aroma suddenly overflowed. After returning to the palace, Emperor Kangxi still had this dish fresh in his mind, and specially ordered the imperial chef to make this dish for him. After years of practice, he used beer as tribute from Egypt and a variety of precious Chinese herbal medicines as raw materials.

Stewing duck meat with beer makes the nourishing duck meat more intense. The duck meat is not only delicious, but also has a refreshing aroma of beer.
