You’ve probably tried Impossible Beef, a plant-based beef that is served at many restaurants in Singapore. Today, Impossible Foods – the company behind Impossible Beef – introduces Impossible Pork, which is now available at more than 120 restaurant outlets across the island.
Just like the beef version, Impossible Pork is made from soya protein and contains “heme”, a molecule that gives the product its meaty appearance and taste.
Besides offering a more sustainable protein option compared to actual meat, the gluten-free Impossible Pork is also said to contain more protein, less fat and calories, compared to ground pork from pigs. It also promises no cholesterol.
You may have seen Impossible Beef used in burger patties and meat sauces; Impossible Pork appears to be even more versatile as pork is used commonly in a variety of Asian cuisine.
In the tasting samples sent to AVENUE ONE, Impossible Pork was used in a variety of Chinese dishes, Japanese dishes, and Thai dishes.
Having tried it, we felt that Impossible Pork tasted like a leaner, less gamey version of regular pork and were pretty amazed by how versatile it is for use as a meat alternative in so many types of cuisine.
