Oh the crunchy thing inside the pic is called Chicharrón in the Philppines, which is essentially deep fried pork belly or skin with some meat attached. Taste great as side dish with alcohol. Koreans be having shops that mainly sells it too except we have to BBQ it ourselves

Chinese eat it soft after cooking it hours inside the soup xD;;; not the best way to eat it, but if you just want the collagen I guess that might work

Ooo, essentially deep fried bacon!!!!

Does it get soggy in the soup?

[npixelz]

I don't like bacon

[galled]

Hmm, I wonder if we're talking about the same kind of bacon. Canadian bacon is different than what we in the states call bacon.

[silverberry]

Yep! That's Philippine chicharon, basically deep fried pork rind, though it can refer to other deep-fried pork parts. Very crunchy - you could hear someone bite and chew the thing. Usually eaten with alcohol, though it' also used to garnish some soups. It doesn't stay crunchy once it gets soaked, though.

I don't think I can compare it to bacon - chicaron's much thicker and crunchier.

[npixelz]

Egg drop soup?

[Cilencio Cerbera]

galled yup it does get soggy haha, more suitable description could be soft and juicy, as it absorbed to soup into the meat. The soup will have a rich taste in return.
