Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice crackers (mix of shapes and flavors)
- 1 cup Dry roasted peanuts
- 1 cup Wasabi peas
- 1 cup Sesame sticks
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (optional, finely chopped for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, add the rice crackers, dry roasted peanuts, wasabi peas, and sesame sticks. Toss to combine evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sriracha, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, ground ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) until smooth.
Drizzle the sauce mixture over the snack mix and gently toss until all the pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the mix out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through, to allow the flavors to meld and the mix to lightly crisp up.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The snack mix will continue to crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the Spicy Asian Snack Mix to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
Optional: Garnish with finely chopped green onions for a fresh pop of flavor before serving.
