Sometimes when I get a large piece of roast pork from the market stall, we cannot finish it.

I usually freeze the remaining portion and when my hubby wants to eat it, I just thaw it. He complains that the meat is not that good anymore. Please advise. – Joanne Tan Frozen roast pork should be thawed in the refrigerator overnight. Place the piece of roast pork side down on a non-stick saucepan. Heat up pork over a gentle low heat for 3 minutes for both meat and skin side. Use a fork to hold on to the meat, heat all the 4 sides of the meat for 2 minutes each side.

Finally, heat the piece of roast pork, meat side and skin side for 1 minute each again. This would enable the roast pork to have a crispy skin and the meat is sealed with moisture inside. CAN you please advise me on how to soak or prepare large sago pearls? – Salina Goh Large sago pearls should be rinsed, then cooked in a pot of boiling water over a gentle low heat for 30-40 minutes.

Remove the pot from the heat and cover with a lid. Allow to soak for at least 2 hours. Once the sago pearls have plumped up, dish up, rinse through running water, and drain well.
