Are you confused at the meat counter when you want to buy pork for a stir-fry or Chinese BBQ pork (char siu––one of our most popular recipes)? We get questions all the time about what cuts of pork are best for Chinese cooking and which cuts make sense for different dishes.

My quickest answer is: pork shoulder––specifically, the picnic shoulder. This humble, large cut of meat holds a wealth of diverse cuts perfect for grilling/roasting, stewing/braising, soup/congee, stir-fry, and ground meat. Here, we explain and show how to cut pork shoulder into different usable parts, from start to finish.
