General Zuo’s Popcorn

INGREDIENTS

4 quarts freshly popped corn
one 13 ounce can dry chow mein noodles
1 cup roasted, salted peanuts
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vinegar-based Asian hot sauce, such as Sriracha
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons soy sauce

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil or a silicone baking sheet and set aside.

Put the popcorn, noodles and peanuts in a large, clean paper bag or a washable muslin bag. In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, hot sauce, sugar, and garlic powder. Drizzle the butter mixture over the popcorn, fold over the top of the bag, and shake until the popcorn is coated and moist. Drizzle the soy sauce over the popcorn, fold over the top of the bag, and shake a few times to coat.

Spread the popcorn evenly over the baking sheet and bake until the popcorn is dry, 5 to 7 minutes.
