How to Make Asian Style Party Mix
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 6 cups of your favorite cereal (like Chex or Rice Chex), 1 cup sesame sticks, 1 cup wasabi peas, 2 cups chow mein noodles, and 1 cup peanuts.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter and 2 tablespoons soy sauce.
- Drizzle the butter-soy sauce mixture over the cereal mixture. Sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste). Toss until everything is well coated.
- Spread the mixture evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake for 45 minutes, stirring evenly every 15 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
- Let the mix cool completely to room temperature before serving. The longer it sits, the crispier it gets!
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
