How to Make Chinese Popcorn
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
- In a large, shallow roasting pan, combine 6 cups popped popcorn, 1 cup chow mein noodles, and ½ cup roasted peanuts.
- In a small saucepan, melt ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger to the melted butter. Stir well to combine.
- Pour the butter mixture evenly over the popcorn mixture in the roasting pan.
- Gently toss to coat the popcorn, noodles, and peanuts completely.
- Bake for 60 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
- Remove from oven and spread the popcorn mixture on paper towels to cool and drain excess oil.
- Once completely cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
