Serves: 4
Prep Time: 1 minute
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
1/3 cup popcorn kernels (about 70 g)
2 tablespoons olive oil (or your preferred cooking oil)
1 teaspoon Thaimee Laab Chili Powder (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon Himalayan salt (or to taste)
Instructions
1. Mix and Heat
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid, add the popcorn kernels, olive oil, Thaimee Laab Chili Powder, and Himalayan salt.
Use a wooden spatula to toss everything in the pot until the kernels are evenly coated.
2. Pop the Corn
Cover the pot with a lid, leaving it slightly ajar to allow steam to escape.
Heat the pot over medium heat and gently shake it every few seconds to ensure even popping and to prevent burning.
3. Serve
When the popping slows to 2–3 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat.
Transfer the popcorn to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately while it’s fresh and warm!
Pro Tips
Adjust the Spice: Start with less Thaimee Laab Chili Powder and increase to your liking.
