Okay, here we go, today’s sharing is about making that sweet and sour pork dish from Wuthering Waves. I gotta say, it’s been a wild ride, but totally worth it in the end.
So, first things first, I had to figure out what the heck this dish actually was. Turns out, it’s a classic Cantonese thing – they call it “gu lao rou,” which apparently means “pork with a long history.” Fancy, right? But what really got me was that it’s supposed to boost your Echo Drop Rate in the game by 50%. Now, who wouldn’t want that?
I started digging around for recipes, and boy, are there a lot of variations out there. Some use ketchup to make it that bright red color we all know. Others go for a more natural, brownish sauce with apple vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce. I decided to experiment a bit because that’s half the fun, isn’t it?
Here’s what I did:
- I grabbed some pork, obviously. Cut it up into bite-sized pieces. Marinating is key, so I whipped up a mix of soy sauce, a bit of sugar, and some spices. Let that sit for a while – the longer, the better.
- While the pork was soaking up all that goodness, I started on the sauce. I went with the ketchup route because, I mean, who doesn’t love that classic sweet and sour look? Mixed it with some apple vinegar for that tang, sugar for sweetness, and a dash of soy sauce for balance. Some folks online said restaurants add food coloring to make it super red, but I skipped that. I’m all about keeping it real.
- Next up, frying the pork. I coated the marinated pieces in some cornstarch to get that crispy texture. Then, into the hot oil, they went. Gotta make sure they’re cooked through and golden brown.
- Once the pork was crispy and delicious, I tossed it in the sauce. You gotta make sure every piece is coated evenly. That’s where the magic happens.
The Result
Let me tell you, the smell alone was enough to make my mouth water. And the taste? Spot on. It had that perfect balance of sweet and sour, with a satisfying crunch from the pork. Did it increase my Echo Drop Rate in Wuthering Waves? Well, I like to think it did. At the very least, it made for a killer dinner.
So, there you have it, my adventure in making sweet and sour pork. It was a fun experiment, and I definitely recommend giving it a shot. Who knows, maybe it’ll bring you some good luck in the game too!
