Ingredients
Scale
Popcorn and Seasoning Mix
- 2 sheets nori (dried seaweed)
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp togarashi chile seasoning
- 8 cups popped popcorn (about 1/4 cup unpopped kernels)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Make the Nori Seasoning: Place the nori sheets, toasted sesame seeds, kosher salt, and togarashi chile seasoning into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is ground to a fine powder, which will evenly coat the popcorn with sushi-inspired flavors.
- Toss Popcorn with Butter and Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the freshly popped popcorn with the melted unsalted butter, tossing well to coat all the kernels. Sprinkle the nori seasoning powder over the buttered popcorn and toss again thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
Notes
- For best results, use freshly popped popcorn warm for easier seasoning adhesion.
- Adjust togarashi seasoning amount to control the spice level according to your preference.
- This snack is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain crispiness.
- Feel free to substitute unsalted butter with a plant-based alternative for a dairy-free version.
