It's so refreshing to actually see someone honestly say they didn't like what they made. Kudos to you.
Never watched you before but loved the fact you admit you didn't like your creation. Personally I love Crab Rangoon but prefer the red sweet and sour dipping sauce.
Do a version of Crab Rangoon that YOU’D like Marion, would love to see your spin on it!!
Oh my I never thought I’d see the day that Marion didn’t like something she made. And it’s one of my favorite appetizers. 😲😱🤭
Same. This was historic. I've never seen that face! Much respect. Some people would not have aired the episode!
@@seanswinton6242 Yes!!! It made me appreciate her and her channel even more. I applauded her real ness. 😃😃👏🏽👏🏽
I've made a few recipes from her and they've all been great! Nice to know she's not faking her reactions
LMAO! This video made me love Marion so much more!
I appreciate your honesty so much Marion. You couldn’t even fake it. 😂😂🤣🤣
However, I love Crab Rangoon but hate the taste of Crab. I enjoy that they crispy, crunchy, & creamy and the sweetness of the Duck sauce pulls it all together. I don’t think I would like them with real Crab meat instead of the imitation Crab. I know, that sounds crazy. 😂😂😂
Thank you for this video. You make everything seem so fast, easy, and delicious. I’m going to make these with the imitation Crab. 😃😃😃👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I was thinking the same. Maybe its just meant to be with imitation crab meat lol
If you make your own you could use any protein you want even Chicken Rangoons. Ultimately it's just a dip put into wonton and fried.
It taste better with imitation crab meat that's why Marion don't think it taste good cuz I too also tried with real crab meat thinking it will come out good.. but its not. The fake crab meat is the way to go lol....
I think the fried cream cheese also a hard sell for some Asians.
My boyfriend was super proud to order at a Chinese restaurant for my family and I (who are Chinese). He also ordered rangoons because he loves them.
Like Marion, my parents never had them before (they don’t do Americanized Chinese food) so they tried one after my boyfriend talked them up. Both of my parents tried and my mom had a particularly bad reaction and had to spit it out. My dad ate it quietly, assured him it was good and downed two cups of tea.
My boyfriend was so embarrassed about it that we talked about it the whole drive home. To date he’s never ordered rangoons with them again, though sometimes my mom will order them for him anyway
@@OnyxLynx6 aw I love that story! Thanks for sharing it! :) Your parents are one classy pairing!
Marion, I loved this video, it’s so FRESH! I appreciate you even more & I hardly thought that was possible. You’re the best 🥰
😂😂 Never have I seen a cooking show where the presenter and chef cooks something that they didn't like eventually. You got guts Marion putting it out for us to see so kudos to you. Just an idea for your next gig - getting a dish you don't like and then remake it from scratch to make it taste better.
Dear Marion, I've always done crab Rangoon with combo of real and imitation crab. Part of what gives crab rangoon it's signature taste is the addition of a dash of Worcestershire sauce and finely minced garlic, as well as finely chopped scallions. The finely chopped garlic as well as that dash of Worcestershire is what makes crab rangoon so good. Please give crab rangoon another try using ALL of the necessary ingredients. PS ❤️ ur show! 🌹
The filling will stay good in the fridge for two or three days so you can have a few crab rangoon every day, just keep the small square wonton wrappers on hand or in the freezer and you can enjoy this treat anytime the mood hits!
I'm not the biggest ran if rangoons, but I am most definitely going to try this sauce. And your nails remind me of Robin's eggs and it makes me happy 😊
Crab Rangoon is best made with imitation crab meat. That’s what gives it that signature flavor.
The texture is awful though 😬
And its a bit sweet. 💙
It all about the imitation crab. 😏
How don’t you like them?! They’re my favorite 🤣 maybe the difference is in the imitation crabmeat? Ours in the states typically have green onion and garlic in it too!
Ahahahah I love the honesty! Would love to see more of the “fails” and I love how we are hearing more from the crew
I imagine it’s difficult to make a version of something without ever having tried them before to know what a ‘classic’ flavor is like. As someone who loves crab rangoon, I’ve had some great ones and I’ve had some bad ones. Knowing the flavor profiles of the great ones helps you know what to add to get the taste you like! Like imitation crab meat and green onions!
You’re missing the green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and some freshly cracked pepper. My family loves these and I can’t make enough honestly to keep them on a plate. It’s cool though to see there are things that you may make, but don’t actually enjoy to eat. Love your channel!! Happy Thanksgiving from our family here in Canada! 🇨🇦🦃❤️
Recipe please?! 😍 and shout-out from Texas! 💛
@@courtlandcarson6610
-5 oz of drained crab meat or 1 pkg of imitation crab meat minced fine
-2 green onions sliced
-1 tsp freshly cracked pepper
-1 tsp garlic powder
-1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
-1 small jalapeño seeded and minced fine (optional, we like ours with a kick to it so good 👍🏼😏)
-1 250g pkg of cream cheese softened
-1 pkg of Wonton wrappers.
Thats how i make mine (above) and we love them. But hilarious Marion didn't like hers.
Episodes like this are why I like your channel so much. Such honesty is great- love it. ❤️
❤️
I LOVE that you didn’t bother pretending that you hated it AND that you still posted the video even though you couldn’t stand the taste. Literally laughed out loud. Very honest and authentic of you. I had seen recipes for crab Rangoon when I had googled recipes using snow crab meat but instead went with Crab Linguine PLUS Thai Crab Fried Rice & Thai Crab omelette. Didn’t want to waste the nice crab in case I didn’t like it. Thoroughly entertained by the video anyway! 🦀 😂 🦀
I love these but imitation crab meat makes all the difference. I also add a little scallions to the mix and put less in each wonton wrapper. I like more crunch than cream.
Have u tried using imitation crabs? Which is better?
Yea i think the key to good crab rangoon lies on the imitation crab use. Almost all Chinese American take out places in here use the imi crab one. And yes, less is more.
@@phoeriel I’ve tried making them several times with imitation crabs and they do taste much better. The key is to put less mixture inside the wrapper although some people prefer a bit more filling than crunchy texture.
Yeah I was thinking the same. I usually don’t even taste crab which is good because I don’t like seafood but I like these!
I agree and I haven’t even made them haha. I feel like the imitation crab not only adds the chunk texture (rather than shredded texture) but is almost a little sweeter than crab meat.
This actually made me giggle! Every video I've watched you enjoy the food and this time your reaction was priceless 🤣🤣🤣!!
So glad you are honest in your reviews thank you 😊
That reaction was just, priceless 😂 Exactly how I felt when I first tried pretty much the same thing you did.
Some tips that worked for me: Use a mix of fresh crab meat and chopped imitation crab, it adds sweetness and texture, lots of finely minced spring onion to lift it, then use just enough cream cheese to hold it all together. Finally, reduce/skip the salt but add a touch of L&P sauce - it adds depth and tang without being too salty. And I second the tip to underfill it to get more crunch per bite.
Hi Marion. You gotta my filling. I chop shrimp and cook it with ginger and garlic. Drain the liquid and mix it cream cheese. Add salt and black pepper. OMG, it's on another level. I love your videos and your expression.. lol..
OMG I love this honesty. You're the freakin best, Marion 🤣
It's not often you get a cooking show that finds their own food inedible :D Love it!
Love that you tell it like it is. No faking there.
I just adored her reaction! I know I would love the ones you made, looked divine. You made me smile , just love genuine people.
Hello marion , where from sri lanka 🇱🇰 me and my mom make your recipes a lot and they always turn out perfectly. Thank you for teaching us how to make delicious food for my family .
Oh my gosh I loveee crab rangoons!! I’m sorry you didn’t 😭 a lot of the ones I’ve tried also have green onions or spicy peppers minced inside so that gives it a lot more flavor as well. Maybe try that next time? Lol
I add green onions to mine as well.
I really love them, I don't know why people don't.
I’ve religiously watched this channel for sometime now. I love Marion even more for her honesty, and authentic reaction. 😅
The idea of crab and cream cheese in a wonton makes my tummy turn!
I would like this twice if I could. I love your honesty, and your husband’s too!!!! 😂
Was that Marions husband, but I thought his name was Tim
@@tinahillsdon2776, I could be wrong.
I love the authenticity.
My wife and I could never eat this Rangoon thing. We’re had it once and that was once too much!!! Don’t worry Marion you are not alone!
My boyfriend loves them, but I can only ever eat maybe half of one; the cream cheese is too heavy and too much for me.
I love crab, I love cream cheese, I loathe crab rangoon.
You always shine Marion! Your facial expressions were worth a million smiles and dollars!😜
Lol, love it!!!! I only saw these things on TH-cam a few weeks ago and thought they sounded hideous and not at all Asian.
Marion's reaction was priceless 😂
First time I see Marion not happy about a recipe! 😂😂 This recipe looks so fun to make though, maybe with another stuffing! 😍😍
This is why i love marion and her channel , this is something you will never see on other food/cooking channel.
Best Marion's video till date😂😂😂
I absolutely love your personality light bright and not overdone. Turned out beautiful want one, two, maybe Three.
Marion, So glad that you were honest!! But I would suggest that you should do your twist on Crab Rangoon!! Do a version that you will like, and we will love it too!!!!!!!
Thanks for being so honest about not liking them 😂 They're definitely an acquired taste. My boyfriend is from the Caribbean and he had never had them before, he says he likes them but I see him taking the filling out and just dipping the crispy fried bits into the duck sauce every time 🤣
Could be wrong but he sounds like a Trini 🇹🇹 lol
@@viv3081 He's Dominican actually 😆
😆 this is awesome. I really love your honesty.
This was hilarious. I truly appreciate your honesty! I love crab rangoon but I also grew up eating them and love cream cheese anything.
Such honesty, I love that you posted this despite not liking it all too much! I love crab rangoon but its not for everyone
Marion is just telling the truth , she is for real period 😊
I like this video especially the ending...LOL.I think this is the first time u didn't like what you cook Marion. Really fun to see your honest expresion 😄😀😀
I love you recipes Marion for me you are the best ❤️
I love, love, love the honesty!!! This was the best video ever.
I love how she immediately flipped to “these are delicious Dane!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol yeah I don't think cream cheese should be mixed with seafood. I'm with you, Marion.
Lol Marion, too bad you didn’t like them. When I didn’t eat spicy food I loved them but since browsing my pallet to enjoy spicy I’ve thought they needed a bit more flavor. I want to try making these with a little spice. When I try it I’ll let you know. Thanks for being a good sport. You gave us a great simple technique that can be built on or adapted to personal taste. I’m glad you’re Hubby liked them; at least they weren’t a waste.
This is the funniest recipe video I've seen in a long time! I love it! More of these epic fails please!
Here's the thing: I never understood how these were Chinese in nature. Cream cheese and crab???? But when they're made well, they're a guilty little pleasure of mine.
PS: Never have I ever seen a cooking show or video where the host hated what they've made. Marion, you are authentic, and honest, and real, and wonderfully refreshing. The little disgusted tongue at the end...👅😝
Yeah it just sounds like white people food
Crab is a global product, even from the ancient times with lobsters. It's mainly for rich people. It's just cream cheese which is odd.
Best episode ever! I'm going to make some tomorrow
I just love how honest you are with your opinion......I think I would feel the same way as you. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you Marion for trying new recipes for us ❤️ even if you aren’t so fond of them hahahahaha 😅
I’m so happy that you actually mentioned Joshua weissman because as soon as I saw the thumbnail image and the title of the video, my mind immediately went to Joshua’s own video of crab Rangoon. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love the honesty! I don’t think it’s really beloved here in the US actually.
I love your channel, but you missed a few ingredients that change the flavor. Garlic powder, celery salt, worstichier, and green onions.
hilarious!!!!!!! 🤣 love the honesty. your face after you licked your finger at the end. why'd you do that? lolol. cannot stop laughing.
Looks great and delicious
That look so jummy. Thank you for sharing. ☺🌺🍀
Marion's reaction is what did it for me!
i put scallions in my filling too, gives a little fresh note... so yum!
Refreshing to see that you want to please your follower’s and make something they asked for 🥰 But it’s a fact that you won’t have to like the dish you make but still make a great product for those who do like this food 🙏🏻❣️🥰 I value your authenticity 😁🥰 one can argue about taste 🤭🤪😉❣️
I Love those things with green onions chopped up in them !!!
I LOVE THIS EPISODE
Marion is really a great chef👍
She can even master a recipe she actually dislikes😁
Its like a durian hater makes a delicate durian choux/ pancake or even dawet durian👍
I love how authentic marion is!!!
LOVE your honesty in this one lolol. I’m American and these are a staple for me when ordering take out, but I can totally see why someone that didn’t grow up on them, or has been around them often would think they’re not the best lolol. Much love!
Love the honesty!! The sauce is definitely a keeper🤗
🤣 soooo great how honest you are ♥️ it !!
Go Tim, taking one for the team and loving it!
I could watch this video all day! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I like leaving out the crab completely; I don't think it adds anything. I like to stuff it in a jalapeno and then wrap in a wonton. It's really just a vehicle for the duck sauce. I appreciate your honesty though.
Love Crab, but Jalapeno sounds awesome 👍
Wow, great idea. I hate those things but I love jalapeño poppers; may try that instead!
You are lovely! So game! I am Chinese-Canadian and have tried Crab Rangoon. I liked the fried wonton wrapper and the sauce. End of story.
yeah, lol, i think only americans raised on "chinese" food enjoy crab rangoon. i love them but i also think sweet and sour chicken is amazing. and really it's just fried chicken paste with an amazingly crispy batter. oh well ... good to see a chef actually being honest about a recipe fail. love your channel.
Oh Marion I'd never seen you not liking your recipe and makes me laugh🤣🙃!!! I love this video and your honest genuine opinion was brilliant your face said it all! ❤
Marion, you're great and honest!! 😃
Marion, can you try adding Green onion & Water chess nuts to the Crab Rangoon. I love them, plus the Water Chess nuts adds a sweet taste to them. Worth a try Marion. 💗
I feel like this would've tasted a lot better if it were done with chopped prawns instead of crab. So there's some bite to it! Hope you'll give this another chance Marion! Maybe add more seasonings or herbs to balance the heaviness of the cream cheese.
Prawns yes and forget about the cream cheese....
I love crab Rangoon but only at a certain restaurant in Los Angeles. Most other places make it with very little crab. I use a higher ratio of crab to cream cheese, minced green onion, and white pepper. Then buy a container of duck sauce at the local Asian restaurant.
I make crab ragoons at home and they are delicious. It's more than crab and cream cheese. You had Worcestershire sauce. Finely chopped scallions a little sugar, salted white pepper.
Awww Marion is soo cute for not liking the ragoons.. but hey different strokes for different folks.
I LOVE crab rangoon! That looks so good. I would eat them ALL.
Love Marion ! Honest😂❤❤❤
Hahaha! I was just thinking to myself, I really don’t like these but I’ll watch because I love her and I’m so happy we’re on the same boat
Crab Ran Goon are a staple in my regional Chinese take out places, there are 2 schools of thought on how they should be made. fully savory (cream cheese, crab, soy sauce, green onions) and sweeter(cream chesse crab, sugar, soy sauce, maybe green onion). IMO they need the green onion and bit of soy sauce to really bring home some flavor.
Cream cheese fried in dumpling...uh i totally understand your reaction! Marion, would you cook oyster omelet, Thai style, for us one day? I had it while i was in BKK, it was so good. Thank you!
I nearly s*** myself, that was the funniest cooking video I've ever seen!
The ending was gold
Just taken another step up in my estimation, Marion. Nice vid.
I'm 44 & I just tried crab Rangoon for the first time at a restaurant and i wasn't impressed, but i see where it was going & i figured i could make it better. I bought real crab meat, egg roll wraps & cream cheese. I'm gonna get some green onion to add in. Then I'm gonna add some fish sauce and agave to replace the sugar. I hope it goes well...
Thanks for sharing! Let us know how you go 😆 -Team Marion's Kitchen
OMG I absolutely love your reaction. You are just fabulous. Your honesty is so real.
🤗
Absolutely loved this video!!! So refreshing 👏👏👏❤❤❤
I just love your honest opinion..👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I love Rangoon. Maybe you should try it with imitation crab instead and try again. That was a fun watch
Oh dear. Ba ha ha! I love crab Rangoon. I usually put spring onion and some Worcestershire sauce in the mix too. Marion would be dying if she tried them! 😂🦀♥️
Such a cute episode lol I love crab Rangoon and really want to make them as egg rolls
I was having one of the worst days and this actually made me smile. It was hilarious :D thank you !
Maybe if you added some sugar and green onions to the filling it would be better. When i get them at restaurants they are always a little sweet
