Sweet and Sour Pork Recipe

Little Panda Daddy got a pineapple home because Cheeky Panda wanted some. As soon as he got the pineapple, he was craving Sweet and Sour Pork for dinner. He remembered what I usually put in the dish, so he got all the ingredients home and asked me to make dinner. He rarely ask me to cook something specific, so I knew he really wanted it. I wouldn't disappoint my dear husband and was happy to satisfied his taste buds. 

While I was cooking, some new ideas came to my mind and I decided to try something new this time. Little Panda Daddy was playing with the girls but so curious about the strange ingredients on the counter top. He asked me a few times what were those extra ingredients doing there. He looked concerned and probably worried about his dinner might be ruined. I told him everything fine and I was just trying something new. Luckily, the new recipe was a success, everyone loved it.
