I remember Mum bringing the prawn ones home from the deli she worked in here in Sydney - over *50* years ago! (Crap that makes me feel old!!) I swear the graphics on the packaging has not changed in all those years and I still buy them for the occasional craving! I love that they were a treat all those years ago and still are - and they're so cheap compared to potato chips.
We used to get packets of prawn crackers from Coles or Safeway in Melbourne in the 70’s and the packaging hasn’t changed at all. It was fun watching them expand and getting them out before they burnt
I'm Aussie living in Chicago and I get the prawn ones from Amazon for an occasional craving
LOL. A lot of us old Aussies are turning up. Melbourne, 1970s. (1959 born). Greetings from Dimboola, in Victoria,.
My Mum used to get the prawn cracker ones back in the 80’s…from Tesco in Scotland though. She may have got them in the 70’s too but as I was born in the mid 70’s, I don’t remember. 😊
My father's best friend Albert was from Hong Kong, and when we were kids we used to LOVE going to dinner with his family (anyone remember the Mandarin Club in Goulburn Street?). When we went to his place, his wife Janice would cook the multicoloured prawn crackers for us...as much as we wanted. Good times 😻
These chips I equate to being almost like the Mexican pinwheel chips: they are both hard and almost like dried pasta like, but once you give them heat is when the magic happens.
As a Vietnamese American, these chips remind me of my childhood and eating these at every Vietnamese party I went to. As and adult, they have become my favorite dipping vessel for Vietnamese chicken salad and green papaya salad.
Good idea, thanks.
Wagon wheel
@@damianbarreto25 Right! Wagon wheel, that's what those snacks look like.
My ex husband's wife is right from Indonesia and she makes the shrimp chips. I loved those.!! Unfortunately they moved to Florida and I moved to Alaska. We used to be almost neighbors. I would be invited for dinner quite often, especially after my mom passed. I'll be going to visit them next year. I'm sure she'll be making her food with shrimp chips. ❤
Will you please do some weird retro holiday recipes this year. They are always so entertaining! 😀
@emmymade I second the weird retro holiday recipes.
I remember my mom making shrimp chips, too. It was always fascinating to watch them change from hard little disks into yummy chips.
I love the shrimp chips version. My Oma used to make them every few days. Rarely was the chip jar sitting on her kitchen counter ever empty. I'm going to have to try the crab ones now.
Frying is definitely the way to go. ❤
They're like edible reverse Shrinky Dinks 😂
TOTALLLYY!!!
That’s exactly what I thought!
The ASMR in this video was TOP TIER! Thank you for making such great content, Emmy!
I love these! I also adore how you can explain that they are a hard plasticy disk that with only a minute in the microwave they get a wonderfully styrofoamy crunch... and it makes me want them! Haha😂
I do papadums in the microwave like this. Turns out great and no oil needed.
I said to myself I wonder if papadums can be done like this... And quick search confirmed...
I never had a Krabby Patty. Rice paper can be fried and puffed up as well. Thanks, Emmy ❣️
wow! i remember watching your "emmy eats turkey" video back when i was a child, and feeling very happy to be represented as a turkish kid! time is an illusion...
I need to see you more I love the way you demonstrate your food and makes you want to go out and buy it
hi emmy, the hard ones on the microwaved version are the one's that did not puff up properly. sometimes it also occurs in the deep fried ones if the oil was too hot, or if there where so many pieces deep fried at the same time
your videos are SO well produced and you're such a natural presenter. not sure why the youtube algorithm was hiding this channel from me. can't wait to binge all your content (:
Check out Bánh Tráng Mè (Sesame Rice Crackers).
They're like prawn crackers but the size of a dinner plate, and used as an edible bowl for salads because they add a bit of texture. They're also YUM. 😻
What a coincidence, not too long ago I tried making wheat snacks in the microwave (similar concept, but they're just unflavored wheat snacks. In poland we call them "przysmak świętokrzyski", while it worked the snacks came out kind of hard and you really need that greasy goodness to fully enjoy them.
However, you know what you CAN make in the microwave and it works well? Poppadums, the Indian crisp made out of lentil flour! And they come out delicious. You just spray them with a bit of grease, put them on a paper towel, microwave for a few seconds and done.
I love poppadums made in the microwave..but they stopped selling them unpopped or they are incredibly expensive.. but it great to know this trick works with tapioca based chips..
As a kid we always had shrimp chips in the cupboard. So fun to watch and eat. 🥰
I love “Prawn Crackers” never had crab ones!
I remember visit g my Malaysian BF’s family a few decades ago and they didn’t know you could microwave them- I got to see a family of adults standing around a microwave for like 10 minutes cooking them up and eating them!
So funny and cute!
I love these crab chips. I asked my mom to make these all the time for me like three times a week.
Omg thank you for reading the ingredients list! I’m gf and dairy free and I’ve been craving shrimp chips for YEARS but can’t eat them, this will be a game changer!!!! ❤
yess!!! i loved the colorful shrimp chips my mom made for us! i remember being so confused upon pantry investigation to find some plastic chips in a box lmao. im gonna look for them this week. maybe i'll find these crab chips too!
Oh Emmy, I'm so happy to see you trying foods from my culture! 🤗 Glad you're trying the microwave style too 👍🏻
We loved snacking on shrimp chips as kids (haven't had them in years sadly), but the fact that there are microwaveable chips (all be it smaller than fried) is so awesome!
These are my favorite! I grew up with the shrimp chips and discovered these and love them! Always keep them in stock in my house😊
That is called Krupuk in Indonesia and Malaysia! i love Krupuk, my grandmother used to make boatloads of them in her massive Wok! Oil frying them in a Wok is the best way to make Krupuk. Krupuk is great to have with a rice dish such a Nasi Goreng (Friend rice)
And in the Netherlands😋. Indonesian food is our second national dish, and so is Krupuk. You can get literally hundreds of shapes, forms and colours of them. Nasi Goreng (I think you misspelled and meant Fried rice), Bami Goreng (Fried noodles) and Saté are by far the most popular, more or less staples, but a lot of the other dishes are popular as well. Like Rendang, Sayur Lodeh, Gado Gado, sambals, I could go on and on. It's all just yammy.
Love all your videos, oddly calming! ❤️❤️
Emmy I LOVE your videos. Thank you for educating us on so many things! You are so articulate at describing the tastes, textures etc... After watching this video I immediately ordered some of these chips. They look so fun and hearing you crunch made me really want them. I cannot wait to experience them for myself. 💜
The fried ones remind me of Munchos. They're very crispy and salty, and cheap!
Oh wow, those look so interesting and fun! I love cool foods like this. Will definitely have to give these a shot!
Emmy, you never fail to make me smile and make my day 💚 I love you and once again, as I always say, thank you for being you.
I just realized the most fun thing: if I eat food while watching Emmy, it causes me to turn into her and begin to narrate and describe my own food in the most vivid detail … amazing! 😂💯😆
I just searched emmymade to relax with a video to see a new one just posted! What beautiful timing⭐
This is just so delightful to watch 😊
i loved these growing up!!
We've never had these but the ones in the deep fry remind me of homemade pork rinds, they seem like they aren't doing much, then suddenly POOF lol.
It's about time you did this! 😁
Thanks for comparing them! I don't feel like dip frying snacks but I'd surely microwave snacks! Air frying would be ok too, can you test your toaster oven behind you (or an air fryer, or both) to see if it works well? I find dip frying something "last resource" and only for ultra special occasions since I always make a mess when doing it (on top of the fat, of course). I still have some frozen churros in my freezer waiting for a day when I feel like wasting a huge amount of oil frying them (air frying was awful, inedible, looked like your crisps before frying, a hard plastic mass)
We have the prawn version of these in Australia all the time 😊
When I happened on an oriental market one day, I went in on a whim and asked for shrimp chips. The clerk pointed me to a similar box. Confused, I tried to explain what I really wanted. He smiled and told me I had to fry them myself. I took them home, set the box on the kitchen counter, and went to the garage for an exercise session. I came back in to the sight of my husband standing over the trash bin, frantically scraping the fragments out of his mouth. I explained the necessity of cooking them first between bouts of laughter.
Emmy you are the cutest wish you a happy Thanksgiving
I've never seen them done in a microwave. I'm shocked. My mom use to tell us that we couldn't have them as often because they were fried.
I honestly love your videos and I love that its something I can watch with my partner and he enjoys it as well. You never disappoint❤
Love the Nigella bites pronunciation of microwave! Me crow wa veh. Lol. I remember when I saw that on tv I thought to myself “is she serious?”
Wooo Emmy video!
Sounds interesting, enjoy watching all your invented recipe, simply amazing 👍
Not Emmy casually saying 'mee-cro-wauh-vey' in the style of Nigella Lawson!! 😂😀😁😊
I didn't know you can microwave them 😅, we always did the shrimp ones in the oil (I liked golden chips better, they were sweeter).
Another great video Emmy, I might be sending you something from Texas soon. Stay tuned!
I love shrimp chips! I never knew about the crab version. Thanks!
gonna try it, got one in me cart...LOVE Crab!!! And that's what my dear friend and I are having fur Christmas dinner, CRAB LEGS, and lots of it :)
You're so stinkin cute it's like you stayed the same way since you was a child 🥺you're too adorable and those chips look tasty
Love this! Would you ever try making the soft shell crabs that you fry and eat the whole shell??
There is no shell, they are harvested right after they shed their shell to grow a new one. Once the shell has formed it cannot grow so they have to molt.
I found these in a store mere days after this was uploaded. While the boxes were identical, the product inside was not. These have something in them while the ones I got are plain little pucks. Still VERY good, though!
You can pan fry them rather than deep fry them, but be careful. The uneven shape of them doesn't lend well to full contact with the oil. What I found worked best for me was to place them in the oil (about 0.5 to 1 cm deep), let it begin to puff a little, then flip it over. I finished them in the microwave because they weren't completely cooked. Doing it this way is more involved than just microwaving, but if you don't have the means to deep fry, it's definitely better than just microwaving them. The texture was much better, although most of them did brown but I think that's cuz my oil was too hot.
Pappadums work in a similar way. You should try the Gujarati style rice papad. A friend got me hooked on the ones flavored with chili and cumin. You can microwave, fry or my fav, roasted over an open flame.
I’d love it if Emmy would make some Whipped Caramel. It’s so delicious and decedent too.
Ahhh, these are my whole childhood. Our family was friends with a Vietnamese family that ran a restaurant across the street and gave out big bags of these with orders. Their kids were around my age, and they'd sometimes send them over with bags for snacks when they'd come to play.
I've never thought to microwave them. I have used a toaster oven, but I have to watch them like a hawk, or they will ignite and burn quite energetically and I have to let it burn itself out before opening the oven. Overall it's not a recommended method due to the fire risk and subsequent clean up
But when I do time them right, they visually look not too dissimilar to your microwaved chips.
But the deep fryer definitely is the best way to go, and it's a great snack to make if you're already frying other foods
Omg!!!! Miss eating these along with shrimp chips.
We love eating these with peanut sauce!
❤Simply Delicious ❤. The food looks good too 😋
After all of these years, I still learn something in every video.
You can't not eat all of them in one sitting! Super nostalgic snack as I would always ask my mom for this after school. Luckily I always have help when I just accidentally make the whole box......... LOL
My mom used to buy those when I was a kittle kid. It was the shrimp kind and they had color! Pinkish, light green and the blanched color. My sister would only eat the pink ones, as if it was some different flavor. Lol
Now today was the day I bought this crab chips... and I did both method. And you're right frying those are def. a no brainer. It's fluffy airy, has a styropor effect... While the microwave is doing its job. it isn't as good as deep frying those.
OMG I love these.
I never had a Krabby Patty! But I love this comparison of microwave vs fried,thank you! Wonder if they could be air fried with a little spritz of oil?
I would be careful with the airfryer. I tried to cook papadums in ours and nearly set fire to it 🤦♀️🤣
@@nicolevidgen1356 oh my! Thanks!
We eat these all the time. My Vietnamese father cooks them for my children by the bowls full and they always have their own zip lock bags full of them to take home.
My kids love them, too. 😋
I love these chips! I usually get the shrimp ones.
Wow I can’t believe how crispy they got in the microwave! Although I know I would prefer the fried They sound delicious ❤
That kind of chips are so good with nasi goreng!!!
My favorite ever.
Any kind is delicious. Crab, shrimp, fish, vegetables, onion.
Deep fried lard is also good😅😂 . I love Emmy
mee-crow-wah-vay LOL. Nigella Lawson🤣
Those sound bites from Emmie chewing the chips is what sound engineers take hours to achieve. Yet here she is and does it in seconds with a standard mini-microphone. 😂😂 Eat that, sound engineers! 😂😂 (Edit: spelling)
It's so cool that these crackers puff up in the microwave. I wish I could find saifun noodles that were microwaveable but as far as I know, it's not possible to crisp up saifun noodles without frying them. I'd make mongolian beef more often if I didn't have to go through the process of frying the cellophane noodles (most of the places I grew up with served mongolian beef on top of fried cellophane noodles and not steamed rice so this is my idealized version of the dish). There's one place I'd gladly take the tradeoff of flavor for both convenience and health.
Oh that looks so good lol
I would love to try these
I love the prawn chips.
Squid, garlic, onion & fish flavor too. For microwave or oven, you might try spraying oil coat first.
The fried ones always win because the microwave version even though it’s crispy but it’s not gonna puff up like the fried version because when you microwave them it tends to be smaller but when you fry them they actually expand and that’s why the fried version always wins.
growing up these were so addictive!
I'm thinking pork rinds 🤣. This is how they get them so poofy and all this time I thought they were not fried. These crab chips would be fun to try! I like the way pork rinds are so light and these kinda look like that and no oil! I would definitely give these a try!
Emmy, to follow up, some places like india would 'fry' them in hot dry sand/salt that gets so hot it puffs them up without any oil! Check out some videos and I hope you film your attempt! It's called 'salt frying'.
If the microwaving technique works anything like when you microwave poppadoms, the downside vs deep-frying is that you can only microwave a very small number at a time, or you end up with them having hard, uncooked patches on them that you have to eat around.
My kids love these! I didn’t know you could put them in the microwave 😱 gonna make my life easier
I’ve been watching a few of those all-too-similar Vietnamese channels of the “Build Farm, Harvest Fruit, Take to Market to Sell” type videos here on TH-cam…and on one of them, the gal had something (I _think_ it was rice based) made into long tubes on an old looking extruder type machine. She then gave small bundles of them to neighborhood children as fun snacks to eat and take home to their families. Very nice tradition. They looked like they may have been similar to yours in crunch, except the shape was different. They looked like little pool noodles 😂
I ate these with gusto in the 1980s. We had the shrimp 🍤 ones. They were delicious 😊.
Oooh much like Besuto then. Puffy fry and serve chips are great as on emergency snack or booze finger food. :)
these are really good dipped in vinegar too
My fave❤
Chicharones can be puffed up in the microwave or deep fried as well.
Yum! I never heard of crab chips before, but I've had shrimp chips many times. I try not to buy them because they're so addictive. 🙂
That reminds me of frying dry uncooked rice noodles and getting edible crunchies :)
I’ve cooked plenty of prawn chips and poppadoms in the microwave because I really like convenience. They are fine but making the effort to cook them in oil is much, much better.
Flashbacks to my mom bringing these home but they were larger circles and no crab bits, she just put them in the microwave and my brother & i loved watching the chips puff up through the microwave window
Pappad or poppadams look the same, but they are vegan/vegetarian and sometimes thinner.. they also come as hard plasticy discs that we fry in oil and enjoy...
Before microwaving, try sprinkling some water on the discs or brush some oil on the discs(I believe I read this in a book somewhere) And microwave them a little longer to ensuring proper cooking and poofing...
Just plain frying them in oil works the best for me. It's the same as with the Krupuk (Shrimp chips); more volume and more crispiness.
It has been 20 to 30 years since I have had them. They came in colors too. The MW ones are interesting.
And in shapes too. In Indonesia they are called: Krupuk, which is a nice name for it. They have literally hundreds of shapes, forms and colours.
Super cool. I can't eat these, but these are cool.
Papadam work in the microwave as well, but you REALLY need to keep an eye on them, because they can start burning and producing smoke quite fast.
I buy the uncooked Indian papads and microwave them, they turn out great and not greasy.
