Pork

Pork rewards a stocked freezer: belly for roasts and mookata, collar for char siu and shabu slices, loin as the lean cut, plus ribs, hock, and minced pork for everyday dishes. Freezing does not dull it: kept at minus 18 degrees Celsius, the quality holds for months. Buying frozen pork online, check the cut name carefully (belly strips are raw meat, not bacon), the weight per pack, and how the seller ships frozen goods to your door in Singapore’s heat. Below, each cut gets its own page with what it is, how Singapore kitchens cook it, and what to check before you order.
