沙茶 popcorn

For Thanksgiving, we went to Connie and David's house. David was craving some snackies and apparently, him and bplee invented their own snack. They called it 沙茶 popcorn and the ingredients are exactly what it says: 沙茶酱 and popcorn. You can buy any old popcorn, David used butter flavored microwavable popcorn.

Now for those of you who do not know what 沙茶酱 is, it is a kind of Asian barbeque sauce, mostly originated from Southeast Asia for their satays. How I know it is the sauce we use to dip our hot pot ingredients.

There's no recipe for it, it's about how much of the 沙茶酱 flavor you want in it. First pop the corn and place in bowl with lid; while it's still warm, add as much 沙茶酱 in it. 沙茶酱 has this layer of oil and then the crushed spices. I'd say, putting more of the oil in it would flavor the popcorn better because the chunky spices end up clumping.

Then shake it all up. Look at David shaking the pot.

This is what you end up with. Sounds pretty crazy, but it's pretty delicious.
