Ingredients
- 2 tbsp canola or vegetable oil
- ¼ cup popcorn kernels
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp cooking sake
Instructions
- In a deep saucepan, heat the oil to medium heat.
- Prepare the teriyaki sauce by heating sugar, soy sauce, mirin and sake in a small saucepan (low heat). Once the sugar has mixed, put it aside.
- Add popcorn kernel to the oil to test. If it spins, it is ready.
- Add all the popcorn kernels, cover with a lid and cook. Shake the pan occasionally until all the popcorns pop. Remove the popcorn from the pan.
- Wait for the pan to cool slightly, and add the teriyaki sauce. Quickly add the popcorn and coat it with the sauce as it evaporates. Serve immediately.
