While on a job in Cyprus some time back, my team went to a little Chinese restaurant just outside of town because we wanted a change. The chef clearly was an aficionado of food colourings, because the sweet-n-sour pork was more than 'a little reddish'. A better description would be 'verging on radioactive'.
Why did I only recently discover this channel??? I have always loved sweet and sour pork, I have been eating the American version all along?. It makes me want to try making the Chinese version. The amount of information packed into this little under 15-minute video is astounding. It is also very well explained and easy to follow; I especially enjoyed the little tidbits of food trivia!
7:34 You said 'garlic and scallion water', seven maybe eight times. Maybe my monitor is on the blink but that looked a lot like ginger. Then you said 'garlic and scallion water' another four or five times and wondered if I was being gaslit or need an eye exam.
Sweet and Sour Pork from Wuthering- *WHAT!?* PROELIUM FATALE LASCIATE OGNI SPERANZA, VOI CH'ENTRATE *OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH, ROUND AND ROUND WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOO, HOLDING ONTO PAIN, DRIVEN BY OUR EGOOOOOOOOOOOOOS, FEELINGS UNTOLD, SPINNING OUR OWWWNNNNN, VERSIONS OF THE PAST, BUT YOU CAN NEVER KNOW, 'CAUSE I KNOW-*
I could be wrong. Perhaps that was half of the biggest clove of elephant garlic that I've ever seen. But I'm pretty sure that was ginger in your scallion water. Could be wrong...
i love your Chinese food videos in particular Alvin, as it feels like we're connecting to a common childhood and one another even on opposite sides of the world -- which, via cooking, feels magical honestly :') thank you for everything you do~ may you always stay happy, and well
Hey Alvin, Thank you for showing how this is made in the Chinese traditional style! I'd love to see you do more traditional chinese dishes like JingJiang Rousi and Hot and Sour noodle soup.
There's a scene in an Audrey Hepburn film called Paris when it sizzles, where they order room service and it sounds amazing. Probably not popular enough for you to make though
Which kid doesn't like sweet and sour? Well this kid didn't and still doesn't. I don't remember my parents ever getting it when we ate in chinese-american restaurants. And later when it was me doing the ordering in NYC restaurants and making things myself at home I avoided the S&S items on any menu. I know it's very popular, but I'm in minority on most things, which is fine. Take care all Jacques
Alvin, I think your degree in engineering has served you well. You’re a pleasure to watch and listen to. But I’m a little concerned about the absence of Andrew on a Tuesday. Hopefully, he will show up later in the week. Thanks for providing us with something worth watching (and even something to anticipate!!). I know I do. 😁
This has always been something I've thought about making, but since I can pick it up at my local Chinese takeout for $8, I've never wanted to take the time.
for an episode of Arcade with Alvin, you should make Malanga Fritters from In Stars and Time! i tried making some myself but there are tons if different recipes and my first attempt turned out a little lackluster, so i wanted to see if Alvin could give em a try :3
At 7:35 you crush what is clearly a chunk of Ginger but you keep calling it Garlic. Since the recipe is not in the website, could we get some clarification?
I'd be curious to see how you might tackle making Sodaroni from the recent FNAF games. The official cookbook just made it a raspberry slushy, and other attempts I've seen making the real thing turned out poorly lol. I wanna know if a pepperoni flavored soda can actually work
I like how Alvin's videos show the leftover food being packed up for everyone to take home
You should make the meal that Vader made in the dinner scene when Han walked in and tried to shoot him in Star Wars to pay tribute to James Earl Jones
and no one ever got to eat it
Maybe a team up between alvin and andrew
Seriously doubt Vader made that...
@@emerald8274 You don't know that. Vader was a man of many talents.
I choose my canon to be the Robot Chicken sketch where after the doors close they have a really awkward dinner together.

Where was that if you can remember, I can go and tell you if its still there.
thats the best color
Wuthering Waves and Babish is not a cross-over that I expected but I did not know I need! 😂
now I am intrigued to see Alvin making spicy pulled chicken
As someone who regularly plays Wuthering Waves like a Cooking Mama - with gathering elements, LOL - this pleases me greatly. Thank you, Alvin.
9:09 Apply your homemade non newtonian liquid to your pork.
When I first tried to make prawn empanadas, I accidentally made an entire mixing bowl of non Newtonian liquid and I still have no idea how

3:15 one single garlic clove minced? That had to have been the largest garlic clove ever.
That was a combination of garlic and ginger
Maybe they meant a whole head?
@@Mrx2848 a half inch piece of ginger he said which is smaller than any normal garlic clove. That's was at least 4-5 minced cloves, lol.
If one then three!
@@cruejones742 Well, you know what Uncle Roger says: Garlic is like money. There's never enough.
The chinese version gives such a nostalic feeling for me too. I guess most of us loved these kind of fried sweet vinegar dishes growing up!
What’s the charge? Eating a meal? A Succulent Chinese Meal?
Oh, thats a nice headlock, sir! Ahh yes... I see that you know your Judo well...
And you sir, are you waiting to receive my limp P?
7:34 You said 'garlic and scallion water', seven maybe eight times.

Man for real some people were making up quantities of garlic he said too! That's straight ginger cuz
i think its just a massive garlic clove but it does look an awful lot like ginger i had to check again myself LOL the color seems more garlicky
Stupendous Stew from Super Mario Odyssey
I'd love to see the Grand Pandaren Banquet from WoW. It's a fusion of six distinct styles of Chinese cooking
Uh, that was ginger, not garlic, for the water in question that he made.
It really feels like he wasn't actually watching the video when he was recording the voiceover and was just doing it from memory or something.
>Truffle oil
[Chopped judges groaning intensifies]
I’ve tried so many of your dishes, and every single one has turned out perfectly! Your channel is my go-to source for cooking inspiration

I could be wrong. Perhaps that was half of the biggest clove of elephant garlic that I've ever seen. But I'm pretty sure that was ginger in your scallion water. Could be wrong...
Wasn't expecting a Wuthering Waves Collab but I'm glad we have it ^^
The last style looked the best. Probably, tastier as well. Seems like the crew comes out of the woodwork when Alvin finishes
i love your Chinese food videos in particular Alvin, as it feels like we're connecting to a common childhood and one another even on opposite sides of the world -- which, via cooking, feels magical honestly :')
thank you for everything you do~ may you always stay happy, and well
@7:37 do you mean ginger scallion water? If not, that’s a big, ginger lookin garlic clove lol

CATHERINE, APEAR BEFORE ME AND TEAR ME ASUNDER!
Day 234 of petitioning Babish/Alvin to make the Triple Fried Egg Sandwich with Chilli Sauce and Chutney from Red Dwarf.
Hey Alvin, Thank you for showing how this is made in the Chinese traditional style! I'd love to see you do more traditional chinese dishes like JingJiang Rousi and Hot and Sour noodle soup.
Wuthering Waves Recipe? My man is COOKING!
Sweet and sour was my favourite food growing up! This is awesome!
There's a scene in an Audrey Hepburn film called Paris when it sizzles, where they order room service and it sounds amazing.
Probably not popular enough for you to make though
Next arcade with Alvin should be the Cupcakes from League of Legends for the upcoming new season
Which kid doesn't like sweet and sour? Well this kid didn't and still doesn't. I don't remember my parents ever getting it when we ate in chinese-american restaurants.

All these versions are enough to make my mouth water 🤤
9:15 - Cooking with Ooblek
I appreciate the fact that the sponsor is at the end on the video. Also its the first time I voluntarily watch a sponsor just for that reason.
Maybe we just do things weird in Springfield, Missouri, but I look at his American version and go, "Where are the carrots?"
Alvin, I think your degree in engineering has served you well. You’re a pleasure to watch and listen to. But I’m a little concerned about the absence of Andrew on a Tuesday. Hopefully, he will show up later in the week. Thanks for providing us with something worth watching (and even something to anticipate!!). I know I do. 😁
I would love to see a Freedom Planet-inspired feast with all the food mentions between the two games!
This has always been something I've thought about making, but since I can pick it up at my local Chinese takeout for $8, I've never wanted to take the time.
Legendary Feasts from Sea of Stars game
Genius video for showing several new techniques.
Beef Bowl from Ryuji and Yusuke's Showtime Attack in Persona 5 Royal
pretty sure he already did that
@@s_t_r_a_y_e_d yup. Mega Beef Bowl from P4
I make sweet and sour without bell peppers. I'm allergic to them. Also, no catsup in my recipe, but it does have pineapple juice and brown sugar.
I never would have imagined you could fry ooblek
for an episode of Arcade with Alvin, you should make Malanga Fritters from In Stars and Time! i tried making some myself but there are tons if different recipes and my first attempt turned out a little lackluster, so i wanted to see if Alvin could give em a try :3
WUTHERING WAVES MENTIONED LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
My waves are SO wuthered right now
I'm vibrating (wuwa reference)
Dinner scene from the Dark Crystal when the Skeksis are eating all the creatures
I doubt youll see this but i like to use about half powdered sugar instead of all granulated sugar, and a few pinches of brown sugar
Wuthering Waves mentioned????
Personally I prefer wuthering heights
Def gotta try this one
Wuthering Waves is a very cool app game
Yep, that sauce from Chef Wangong is different. It's in metric!
Now sit back and relax as the project moon sleeper agents roll in
heres a recommendation: oak cake rolls from honkai star rail.
I remember watching you make Tang Cu Li Ji on a Tasty video years ago and it's been in my rotation ever since
I keep hoping to see something from Oldschool Runescape in one of these segments. Something like the summer pie, or tuna & sweetcorn baked potatoes.
Alvin PLEASE!!! Give us Pajeon from Library of Ruina ;-;
I love this series
PLEASE make the pizza pasta bake from Fears to Fathom 4!!
You should do Stroganoff from Symphogear
That is the most ginger looking garlic getting smacked up....
Do "don't starve" food, there's some pretty fun food there!
Bro made deep fried oobleck and thought we wouldn’t notice
watching it makes me hungry! 🤤
Im surprised u actually made something from Wuthering Waves
At 7:35 you crush what is clearly a chunk of Ginger but you keep calling it Garlic. Since the recipe is not in the website, could we get some clarification?
You should make City Chicken from South Park
Or City Beef
The two dinners prepared by Two Face's girlfriends in Batman Forever.
Our sweet and sour pork is very different from either of these, the restaurant we go to fries them is something akin to tempura batter
Yummy. That looks delicious!
Should do something from Once Human, like Yuanbao Dumplings or Stargazy pie
Finally. Something relatable
Truly wuthering our food
SO THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE GOING TO DO!
He literally made ooblek for this recipe to coat the pork lol
We need a gatorwine comeback please. Mix different Gatorades with different cheap whines and rank them♥️
Snowpoint Tamato Ice Cream Bar from the animated Pokemon series
1:42 I need that bottle
Alvin going for that uncle title
Do tuna potato from old school RuneScape next
Wurthering waves.. Have you tried the Heights?
Do these recipes appear anywhere?
PLEASE Alvin, make Megumi's Monkfish Dobu-Jiru Curry from Shokugeki no Soma Food Wars!
You're certainly on a Chinese themed streak aren't you? First Black Myth Wukong, now this.
Silence, filthy westerner
It helps when China is making the most popular games in the world today
@@MatthiaGryffine We in the West need to step it up then!
It won't be a streak until the next episode is also Chinese based.
@@s_t_r_a_y_e_dAmerica rules, Cheeeeeeenk drools
Make the chicken from the food hotline in South Poark.
One garlic clove? Was that clove the size of a golf ball?
Looks like Ginger.
I'd be curious to see how you might tackle making Sodaroni from the recent FNAF games. The official cookbook just made it a raspberry slushy, and other attempts I've seen making the real thing turned out poorly lol. I wanna know if a pepperoni flavored soda can actually work
wuthering what...?
Yeah, it's not Wuthering Heights
CATHRINE
CATHERINE
Just woke up now Im starving
ranking every mayonnaise please
I have an idea. How about the Hagfish Quenelles from Dishonored 2? It comes with the full recipe
dang, now i want to try the Chinese style one!
use pork as tomato plant fertilizer
Something to remember about truffle oil is most of them are fake. Make sure you check the ingredients on the label while buying.
tastes like the smell of gasoline
