“Have been using WowzaBox for almost two years and loved its convenience and more importantly the TASTE!
Fresh and prep food that is so much more delicious than Chinese restaurants in London and so much cheaper too!”

Sweet and Sour Pork
Sweet and Sour Pork, known as "Gu Lao Rou" in Chinese, holds the distinction of being one of the earliest Chinese dishes to gain international acclaim. Its origins trace back to the Guangdong province, which was also the first port of call for Western travellers during the Qing Dynasty. Thanks to its delightful combination of sweet and tangy flavours, it quickly captivated the palates of Westerners, introducing them to the captivating realm of Chinese sweet and sour cuisine.
As time passed, this dish evolved, with the traditional blend of black vinegar and sugar being enhanced by the addition of zesty lemon juice and fruit-based sauces. The introduction of pineapple further elevated the dish, infusing it with an additional layer of fragrance that complemented the succulent pork perfectly. Soon, Chinese restaurants worldwide began serving this delectable creation, propelling the sweet and sour style to global prominence.
Today, you can encounter a variety of sweet and sour dishes on Chinese takeaway menus, many of which have been tailored to suit Western tastes. However, it's important to note that Sweet and Sour Pork, originating in China, remains the quintessential embodiment of this culinary style. It is an absolute must-try for anyone seeking an authentic and delicious taste of Chinese cuisine.

In case you’re wondering ...
Our meal kits come with everything you need to make the dish, except for water and cooking oil. Our expert chefs have already pre-sliced and marinated the meats, and the vegetables are washed and chopped, so all that’s left for you to do is follow our super-simple cooking instructions to finish off an authentic meal at home.
For more details, check out our cooking videos on our YouTube channel: WowzaBox.
Our products are meticulously crafted from fresh ingredients, and each order is prepared on the day of dispatch without the addition of any preservatives. All our WowzaBoxes are insulated and include ice packs. If our fresh and strictly prepared ingredients are kept at the safe temperature in the refrigerator, they will stay fresh for up to 3 days from the delivery date. This is especially significant, particularly for our marinated raw meat products, which have a limited shelf life due to their nature.
Absolutely! Our shopping cart page features a delivery calendar for you to select your preferred delivery time. You can choose Tuesday to Sunday within the next 40 days, and if you place your order before 2 PM or 1 PM on Saturday, the earliest delivery date you can choose will be the following day. We offer delivery Tuesday to Sunday, with no additional delivery charges on weekends.
When we say our meals serve two, we truly mean it. Unlike many other options on the market, our portion sizes are often praised by customers for being satisfying and generous.
For example, our popular Gong Bao Chicken for two weighs in at a hearty 650g in total, with 278g of chicken—that’s 139g per person, exceeding the British Dietary Association’s recommended 90g of protein per meal. So you can rest assured that our meals are designed to keep you well-fuelled and fully satisfied!
We deliver to most of the UK, the next day.
