Okay, folks, let’s dive into my little culinary adventure today. I decided to tackle Sweet and Sour Pork, Wuthering Waves style! I’ve always loved this dish, and with a game-inspired twist, I was even more excited.
Getting Started
First things first, I gathered all my ingredients. I’m talking about:
- Pork, obviously! I used pork tenderloin because it’s nice and, well, tender.
- Pineapple chunks – gotta have that sweet tang!
- Bell peppers – I went with a mix of red, green, and yellow, because why not?
- Onion – just a regular yellow one, chopped up.
- And the usual suspects for the sauce: soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, ketchup, and a little bit of cornstarch to thicken things up.
The Prep Work
Next, it’s all about the prep. I cut the pork into bite-sized pieces, not too big, not too small. Then, I made a quick marinade. I just tossed the pork with some soy sauce, a touch of salt, and a bit of pepper. Let that sit for, like, 15-20 minutes while I chopped up the veggies.
Cooking Time!
Okay, time to get cooking! I heated up some oil in my wok – you can use a regular pan too, but a wok is more fun. I tossed in the pork and stir-fried it until it was cooked through and nicely browned. Then, I took the pork out and set it aside.
Next, I added the veggies to the wok – the peppers, onion, and pineapple. Stir-fried those until they were a little soft, but still had some crunch. You don’t want them to be mushy, trust me.
Making the Sauce
While the veggies were cooking, I whisked together all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, ketchup, a bit of water, and that cornstarch. Make sure the cornstarch is all mixed in, no lumps allowed!
Bringing It All Together
Now for the grand finale! I poured the sauce into the wok with the veggies, and let it simmer and thicken up. It gets all glossy and delicious-looking. Then, I added the pork back in, and tossed everything together until it was all coated in that yummy sauce.
The Taste Test
And there you have it! Sweet and Sour Pork, ready to eat. I served it with some rice, because that’s the classic way to do it. And honestly? It was pretty darn good! The pork was tender, the veggies were crisp, and the sauce was that perfect balance of sweet and sour. A total win in my book!
It was great, I think next time I’ll serve a few other people and refine the recipe again!
