Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add a few popcorn kernels and cover with the lid.
- Once the kernels pop, add the remaining popcorn kernels in an even layer. Cover the pot and remove from heat for 30 seconds to allow all the kernels to reach the same temperature.
- Return the pot to heat. The kernels should start popping vigorously. Gently shake the pot occasionally to ensure even popping and prevent burning.
- Once the popping slows to a few seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat and carefully transfer the popcorn to a large bowl.
- Sprinkle the matcha powder, toasted sesame seeds, and sea salt over the warm popcorn. Toss to evenly coat.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy!
Helpful Tips
- For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle a little melted butter over the popcorn before adding the seasonings.
- If you don’t have matcha powder, green tea powder can be a substitute.
- To toast sesame seeds, simply heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until golden and fragrant.
Storage Instructions
If you have leftovers, store the popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. However, it’s best enjoyed fresh.
Pairings
This Matcha Powder and Sesame Seeds Popcorn pairs wonderfully with a refreshing cup of jasmine tea or a light, fruity green tea. For a fuller snack experience, serve it alongside a variety of mixed nuts or a cheese platter.
