Chicharon Bulaklak

Crispy Fried Chitterlings (Pig Intestines)


Recipe by :  Ariel Jasa,  Mandaluyong City, Philippines


Chicharon Bulaklak are pig intestines or chitterlings that are boiled and fried to a crisp.  They are usually served as beer snacks or appetizers together with a spicy vinegar dipping sauce. 

I wash and clean the chitterlings thoroughly before I cut them to bite size pieces. If they are still a little slimy,  I scrub with a mixture of rock salt and vinegar and rinse thoroughly to wash off excess salt.

I boil them in onion, garlic, bay leaf and salt and pepper (just like the Lechon Kawali) and deep fried them.

I try to be careful not to overcook them as it is so easy to do so,  then I season them with salt and pepper right after they are taken off the oil.
