Wascally Wasabi Popcorn
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Recipe Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons cooking oil1/3 cup white popping corn
1 cup loose packed, dried, and seasoned Japanese seaweed
1 bag Kasugai-brand wasabi-flavored peas
1 Tablespoon black roasted sesame seeds (or white)
1-3 Tablespoons wasabi powder
Salt, to taste
Cooking Instructions:
In a small food processor, shred seaweed until it looks like confetti. Add the sesame seeds, salt, and wasabi powder. Be careful not to inhale the dust when you blend it again. The more finely ground, the better it will stick.
Pop your popcorn and while it's still hot place in bowl. Sprinkle the seaweed mixture over the top and toss (carefully!). Allow to cool and add wasabi peas. Toss again.
