Shrimp / Prawn Crackers Recipe

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

Hi everyone, thank you so much for watching. This year, we will have a special video to show how to prepare a proper Chinese new year eve dinner, also known as "the feast of reunion (团圆饭)". I will make 9 dishes, rice, a drink and a couple of snacks. This shrimp cracker is one of the snacks. Make sure you look for my new year video, it will be published on 31st Jan. Wish you a wonderful new year. Mandy

[@RedSpiralHandTV]

Wow, gluten free snacks!

[@jackkristinep]

Can we use flour?

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

@@jackkristinep other starch like cornstarch and potato starch can be used in this recipe but tapioca is the best because it makes your shrimp cracker puff up bigger and more crunchy.

[@jackkristinep]

@@SoupedUpRecipes thank so u much!

[@Butchsiek]

By any chance will you be making Moqua using winter melon instead of fuzzy melon and crab for the protein?

This is the BEST Chinese cooking channel on KZbin...hands down. The way you take the time to explain each and every step, and the science behind what you are doing is just amazing. Not to mention, that when you give the Chinese names for things you pronounce them clearly and slowly for us English speakers. Too many Asian cooking channels don't give the proper names in a manner that we can actually hear as primary English speakers. It's extremely helpful to know what they are called and the proper pronunciation so that when we go to the Asian markets to get these ingredients....we can actually relay to the workers there what we are looking for. You're so thoughtful with all of the information you provide for us, and I absolutely love watching your videos for this reason. Keep it up...you are awesome!

Years ago when we first moved to California, we went to a Vietnamese restaurant. My very first and way different than they are now. They had a lemon beef salad with a sweet dressing, and shrimp crackers on the side. You used the crackers to scoop up the salad. I thought it was divine! I've since wanted to copy it. And that was from the 80s! I will tuck this little recipe away for my experiments. Thank you for sharing!

[@hablin1]

I always wondered how these were made , thanks for explaining everything 💋❤️

[@marugotofromMCGI]

God bless you, ma'am! Love from MCGI👋🥰🙏

[@LLNTMY]

Wow, I can’t believe I’ve never thought about how shrimp crackers were made in all my 24 years of life.

[@ne0ge049]

I love this little Chinese lady because she makes you feel like you can do it too.

[@itscalledlogic7]

My Indonesian-Dutch grandmother would make krupuk regularly. She would limit us to 5-6 crackers each! Now I always serve them when I make lumpia with rice and peanut sauce. I've always wondered how they were made...can't wait to try this recipe.

[@KendallMcNeilClark]

I have a friend whose been making these for ages. I'm amazed at how good of a job he does knowing know the care and technique that goes into them. Now my appreciation is on a deeper level than taste. Excellent video, I really enjoyed it.

[@lifelesson1098]

Thank you... You are not a native English speaker but you explain it so clearly and precise.😊

[@soulsisterwillis]

Thank-You so much for this ☺️ I love shrimp crackers. I saw this recipe once on Liziqi's channel and became curious cause they looked really good. I ended up ordering a bag online to try them and fell in love 😁 Liziqi's video was in chinese so I tried finding other videos to show how they're made...but no other video gave measurements or cooking times or real direction so I've been buying them on-line (they're a bit expensive) I'm glad to finally see a video that teaches me how to make my own. You find the most delicious foods in China, Korea, and Japan ☺️❤️

[@lovemesomeslippers]

Where do you order from?

[@soulsisterwillis]

@@lovemesomeslippers You can find different brands of shrimp crackers on Amazon. Their listed as "Shrimp Chips" they have the pre-packaged already made and the kind you fry yourself 🙂 I've found all kinds of Chinese and Korean foods...even moon cakes... they can just be expensive....

[@Butchsiek]

@@lovemesomeslippers go to your local Asian, Chinese, Korean or Japanese specialty stores.. Where I live, we have a lot of mom and pop stores, KP International Market and SF Market which has 15 locations nation wide.. I live in Sacramento, CA 5 miles from my home are 3 Chinese owned and ran mom and pop stores. If I want something I ask them and they will either find it or order items for me .

[@willie8229]

This is one of the first times I've watched your video all the way through. I love the details you share (what things are supposed to look like, and general troubleshooting - what happens if not boiled all the way). Your content and video quality are first rate! Keep up the good work!

[@davidledoux1736]

This is awesome! My family has made shrimp cracker 'chips' (called Krupuk...sounds like kroo-pook) for special occasions but have always bought them at the asian store. I had no idea that I could make them from scratch. It's a lot of work but looks like it is totally worth the effort. I don't know how many times I've made these from store-bought and they just taste a little old/stale. Thanks for this great recipe!

[@hesido]

It really is worth the effort. I was using a different recipe, which has different ratios / spices and called for steaming instead of boiling, they came out really good. Interestingly my version puffed up even in the air fryer, but to my dismay, I couldn't get store bought ones to puff up in the airfryer.

[@ChiChi-dy9qi]

I really enjoy the way you explain the science of why things act the way they do and why we need to make sure we get the steps right.

[@VampirusX]

Me watching this vid while eating shrimp chips. I will definitely try it out 👍👍

[@gwendolyn2976]

i appreciate your channel so much, you are a natural teacher.

[@chimchimchow]

Wow I would have never of guessed what an involved process this is.

[@pyaeaung8400]

Thank you again for the recipe Mandy!I'm excited for your chinese new year dinner recipe video.My country also have cracker like these but they're made of a type of fish..They're my favorite treat and a great party food.Now i know how they are made and make it at home!💗

[@FutureCommentary1]

I saw some guy attempt to make it at home but made it seem sooo complex. When I saw your title I knew this was going to be really good It is. I WILL make it at home.

[@kennyc587]

Wow mad respect! I never knew ANYONE that made these at home short of buying the mix

[@Nikkimommyof4]

I so love watching these crackers puff up and grow. So satisfying to watch.

[@marieangus3658]

Omggggg these were my favorite when i was a child my mother used to make it for me. I really want to try this on my children.

[@TheYear009]

It's very easy to obtain in my country with various kinds of qualities and cheap but it's always good to know the process.

[@marvadennis2395]

Oh my goodness this lady can actually make prawn crackers Miss Mandy your truly talented be blessed 😇

[@rainicascadia5514]

Oh Mandy I'm thrilled for this recipe! Thank you very much! 🌹💗

[@annhutcheson5770]

I bought your chopsticks. They a GORGEOUS and so well made! It is a joy to have friends over and present them with authentic food and utensils. Thank you! ❤️

[@darthclaire7179]

Very cool! Such time and labor intensive recipes always blows my mind! The fact that someone went through the time and effort to create that process

[@garlicgirl3149]

O-M-G!!! I could devour them all myself. I can see me and my siblings fighting over the bowl! LOL!

[@bahareh7749]

I love when the ingredients are simple without chemicals like glutamates or additives… I will try it thanks for the recipe!

[@karistaylor6339]

I’ve been looking for a recipe for years! Thank you so much 💞

[@karenbenavente1124]

Mandy this snack looks amazing! But wow! So much work lol I think I'll buy mine from the Asian store, but these do look so delicious 👍 thank you!

[@karenrobbins6656]

I never thought of trying to make these myself. I’ll try it soon to compare the home made ones to the store bought

[@hercule1610]

I haven’t eaten these in years. Now I’m excited to try making my own. The ones I had years ago had been colored yellow and some were pink.

[@estersooknanan]

I usually buy the boxed ones and make a sauce to dip it goes really fast in my house lol. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

[@Onur0547]

Omg I love thisss!!!! Its called "kroepoek" in the Netherlands and youcan buy it everywhere its rly popular here!

[@The_Timinator]

I had these at a Dutch Family's party when I was a kid...they had them because they lived in Singapore for a while because Dad's job sent him there, then they moved to California back in the early 70's, and they were in California because of Dad's job again and that's were I tried them.

[@-RONNIE]

They are so good and you're right - you do need to make a lot because they do go quick.

[@ajcooler8439]

Thank you for explaining this. I first saw the raw uncooked cracker when I had to fix an industrial fryer that cooks the pellets. I couldn't believe that prawn crackers started life as a 'piece of plastic'. Since then I have always wanted to know how to make them.

[@hansdampf4055]

I love Krupuk! Finally I know how this is done. Whether I'll cook that up, I don't know yet. The finished products are delicious and that's work. But definitely thumbs up for the recipe

[@primerib2928]

Wow! My favorites! Used to be able to buy them unfried in a box and they were pretty colors, pink, green, white…..but I haven’t found them in years. Now I can make my own!

[@mg-lz3kk]

Thank you Mandy for this awesome video and recipe! It reminds me of many years celebrating Chinese New Year in Toronto at our favorite restaurant in China Town. Your explanations and attention to details is amazing. Can't wait to view your new year video.

[@none941]

Thank you for explaining how these are made. I have been curious about that, however I don't share your ambition. This is a real project!

[@julieknabe3610]

Cool! You're such a good cook! ❤

[@ghlscitel6714]

Thanks a lot. I am sure they taste much better than the ones I buy in the shop

[@moonrun2]

This looks wonderful. Love shrimp.

[@texaspapaw2110]

Very informative and entertaining. You are a joy to watch. Looking forward to learning from your other videos.

[@southerncaltattooedbiker3643]

Mandy is right they are really good my family makes them every week as a healthy snack 😋

[@manda_musings8459]

I was kinda wondering if this might be a good healthy snack optionally

[@ouichtan]

Wow...truly a labour of love. Thank you for this amazing explanation

[@wisteria4981]

Omg, I love those darn things. Forgot all about them and use to buy them years back at Asian markets.

[@wisteria4981]

Ohhh WOW….those ones are from scratch!! Awesome girl, thanks for sharing 😃

[@donnawatkins8404]

This looks so scrumptious! I like that you can make it ahead and store it.

[@MsWagQ]

Thank for explaining in such detail!! I think it’s really cool how these are made. Take care and stay safe and healthy.

[@kiarafroste]

I was JUST watching someone review shirmp crackers from their local Costco and I was sad because my Costco does not have them, I'm so excited to try and make these! Thank you so much for your videos, I really enjoy watching you and learning how to make some of my favorite recipes!

[@paulhowes5094]

I can't wait for New Year's recipes

[@tuckcuttertuck6802]

Thank you Mandy! I love these store bought and now knowing how to make them gives me a weekend project to try.

[@GS-st9ns]

This is excellent. I grew up eating these and I bought them at the 88 in the south end Boston Massachusetts

[@chrisverby3047]

Grew up eating these when my Dutch mother made Indonesian food. We used a pre-made product that had to be fried called krupuk.

[@MAJewellery]

Always wondered how these are made, to be truthful I never realised just how long it took to prep, hours in the fridge and to dehydrate but only two seconds to cook, lol. Will definitely give the recipe a go.

[@Giratina1712]

This is an extremely familiar dish in Vietnamese culture but I swear less than 1 in 10 families actually make it from scratch like this :o Mighty impressive.

[@HaniSantosa]

"It's so satisfying to see them blossom" hahahaha you and me both

[@jfergs.3302]

Who knew so much went into making these crackers. I did not see the boiling element coming. Fascinating stuff :)

[@SabiAll]

You are my go to reference for ALL things Chinese food related

[@angelstarr5509]

I love these so much, every time I go to the grocery I buy a box to fry, eating as I go along. Shrimp crackers has been a favorite of mines since I was a child. My family loves it and we make a dip. Thanks for sharing and blessings

[@itsbuffy0205]

I will never make these but it was very satisfying to watch. I will never complain about the shrimp chip prices again, after seeing the gruel process. Thank you for sharing. Gung Hay Fat Choy

THESE ARE A GREAT LOT OF FUN TO MAKE ESPECIALLY FOR KIDS TO WATCH PUFFING UP IN HOT FAT BUT HERE IN CANADA(QUEBEC) OURS ARE PASTEL COLORED PINK, YELLOW, ORANGE ,GREEN. I USE THEM FOR DECORATION WHEN I DEEP FRY CHICKEN OR DUCK!!

[@MichelleMCTran]

My dad’s love that. I take those to scouting trips and when we are camping I take that out and fry them over the campfire

[@davidoickle1778]

I buy these from the Asian Grocer but didn’t know you could make them at home. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[@caribbeanspice19]

never knew these took this much effort to make, wow!

[@Chad.D]

im allergice to shrimp but i want to try this with fish.squid... also Thank you Mandy for providing us with the ancient Chinese cooking secrets.

[@JD-mk6zc]

I have just fallen in love with shrimp crackers and on my next day off I am going to make these, they look delicious.

[@simonmartin1201]

Another must try recipe thx 👍

[@himasf]

I'm so excited to try this out!

[@leighdonald3112]

Another excellent Recipe Mandy however they do take a long time to make, BUT they're worth it !!! You can also slice them on (a very good - Probably French lol) Mandolin but you do need to oil the blade (a cheap Canola oil from a squeeze bottle works well, but use ONLY a tiny bit of oil each time). I've been making these for Aeons, and they're SO much better than shop bought ones. I really like your addition of Fish sauce, so Ive replaced the Anchovy paste I generally use with the your fish sauce idea. GoodOnYa

[@Natalie-health-wellness]

Wow I’m so excited to see how these are made, it’s been on my mind for years. Thanks you for that. Yummmm

[@sharmilachandool4603]

Thank you Mandy 😊 for this recipe

[@susieangelo6410]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! That's you Mandy with this Awesome Recipe! Thank you for showing us how these Shrimp Crackers are made from Scratch. Seriously, the Store-bought ones has like 70% broken pieces in the box and hardly has any shrimp flavor. LOL!

[@MaNkYmInX]

Oh my goodness, I love shrimp crackers! I grew up on them and can eat a whole bag. lol I would love to make this one day but I need to get a dehydrator first. Thank you for sharing your recipe.😃👍👍👍

[@sweetcurly28]

Wow!! They look amazing!

[@fussyrenovator7551]

Fabulous. Thankyou so much for this recipe. I love your channel and your cookware. I’m Australian and will do this tomorrow. I think I have the correct flour. I live in a very small town in Central Victoria, but I keep an enormous pantry so that I can cook as I desire. This is going to be so much fun. I actually don’t have a dehydrator yet but it is very hot here at the moment and if I’m very careful with a fan and a thermometer I think I can make this work. After all, dehydrators are fairly recent inventions. I will be very careful.

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

when there were no dehydrators, people sun dry the crackers.

[@fussyrenovator7551]

@@SoupedUpRecipes well it is extremely hot and dry here where I am in Australia at the moment. Anything left in the sun for 10 minutes is desiccated. Hang out the washing, dry in 20 minutes. Towels 15 minutes 😂

[@fussyrenovator7551]

@@SoupedUpRecipes in Australia tapioca flour is called “Arrowroot”. It might seem very strange to you but children in the 50s and 60s were allowed to eat milk arrowroot biscuits (cookies) because I think they were mild and not likely to upset their tummy (stomach). I always forget that the name is different here. I must post a reminder around my kitchen.
