Super Bowl Munchies Part II Asian Popcorn Mix

by Peter on Feb.07, 2010, under snacks

The Super Bowl is only hours away. By now you probably have the chili cooking, made the final beer run, and are contemplating what else needs to be done before the gang gets there to watch the game. You’re probably also rethinking the beer situation and trying to decide if you should pick up another case or not.

Well, if you have just a few minutes, I have another great addition to your Super Bowl bash. This popcorn snack is the perfect Super Bowl snack. Light, and not overly greasy, a good thing with all else you have planned to eat, this snack is also a great match with beer. The Wasabi Peas give it just a hint of a spicy kick, but also makes this mix rather addictive.

Asian Popcorn Mix

12-14 cups popcorn, popped
1 cup chow mein noodles
1 cup wasabi peas (can be found in many supermarkets asian (Japanese) section)
1/2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 Tbsp. sesame oil
3 Tbsp. butter, melted
1/4 tsp. granulated garlic
1/4 tsp. ground ginger

Preheat oven to 275F. Combine the popcorn, chow mein noodles and wasabi peas in large bowl. Mix together the remaining ingredients and pour over popcorn mixture. Stir well to coat and then spread out on 2 cookies sheets. Bake for 15 minutes, remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
