Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 10 cups plain popped popcorn, unsalted

  • 1 ½ cups chow mein noodles

  • 1 cup honey roasted peanuts

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

  • 1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil

  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce, or to taste

  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

  2. Combine popcorn, chow mein noodles, and peanuts in a large bowl.

  3. Whisk butter, soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, Sriracha, and ginger together in a small bowl. Drizzle the butter mixture over the popcorn, tossing to evenly coat. Distribute evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove baking sheet from oven. Set aside to cool before storing in an airtight container.

Cook's Note:

Be careful not to get any of the un-popped popcorn kernels into your mix. They can look at little like a peanut, but you don't want to bite down on one of them.
