Chicharon Bulaklak Recipe

This Filipino street food is usually eaten as an appetizer and served with vinegar on the side. It takes a bit of time to clean (and boil) but this pork intestine dish, fried until crisp and crunchy, can be quite addicting. 

How do you make crunchy chicharon bulaklak?  

The key to this crunchy snack is really the proper cleaning and cooking of the pork. One way to make cooking this pork dish easier is by chopping up the bulaklak for faster cooking. Another is by completely drying the pork after boiling before frying it so it can become as crispy as it can be.
