Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with a lid. Shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning.
Once the popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat and set aside. Transfer the popped popcorn to a large mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, sriracha, lime juice, ground ginger, and garlic powder. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and well combined.
Drizzle the peanut butter sauce evenly over the popcorn and toss gently to coat.
Sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts and fresh cilantro on top of the popcorn for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this Thai-inspired snack!
