Servings: persons

5 cups rice cereal squares (such as Rice Chex)
3 cups popped popcorn
2 cups regular shrimp cracker fries (such as Nongshim)
1 cup macadamia nuts
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
6 tablespoons (3 oz.) salted butter
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon nanami togarashi (such as S&B)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups wasabi peas (from 1 [4.23-oz.] pkg.)

1
Preheat oven to 300u00b0F.
2
Combine cereal, popcorn, shrimp cracker fries, and macadamia nuts in a large bowl.
3
Cook sugar, butter, syrup, and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a boil, about 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring often, until sugar is completely dissolved, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and quickly stir in togarashi, salt, and baking soda. Pour syrup mixture over popcorn mixture, stirring gently until well coated.
4
Spread popcorn mixture in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until lightly golden, 25 to 30 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack, and let cool completely, about 15 minutes. Pour mixture into a medium serving bowl, and stir in peas. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container up to 3 days.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
