July 28, 2021 Warm Saké and Ramen Flavored Popcorn
In this episode Becky and I introduce our next film (a wild one!) and share our latest themed snack and drink pairing. This time we came up with several options for a Ramen flavored popcorn. For the drink, if you are feeling brave, try mixing the ends of any open bottles of Saké you have in your bar! But for the less adventurous just a bit of warmed Saké will do.
For the Popcorn either -
A: grab a pouch of PopSecret, ransack a pack of Top Ramen for it's flavor pack and toss with the cooked popcorn and a tablespoon of sesame oil!
or
B: Crush up 1 bullion cube of your choice, add 1/2 of it and 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, 2 tablespoons of onion powder, 1 tablespoon of crushed black pepper and 1 tablespoon of ginger powder. Pop 1/4 cup of popcorn in 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Toss the seasoning mix with the popped popcorn then sprinkle on a dusting of Nuri flakes.
