Chinese popcorn

---

Yet another variation on the popular snack.

I first got the urge to try flavoured popcorn when watching a now, long-forgotten cartoon; as mummy dragon was about to go shopping, she warned the two baby dragons not to make garlic popcorn whist she was gone. Guess what I did next!

Ingredients

• 1.5 litres warm freshly popped corn
• 1 teaspoon 5 spice powder
• 3 tablespoons peanuts, lightly crushed under a rolling pin
• 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger powder
• A pinch of chili powder
• A pinch of sugar
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• Shake of peanut oil

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 150° C (300° F - Gas 2 )
2. Put the popcorn on a large tin-foil lined roasting tray
3. Thoroughly mix the remaining ingredients in another bowl
4. Pour the mixture evenly over the popcorn
5. Heat in the oven for 10 minutes, shaking and mixing again after 5 minutes
