Best Movie Night Snack Hurricane Popcorn Recipe

By: Izzy
Grab a handful of this crunchy snack and settle in to watch your favorite movie! You’ll love the combination of flavors and textures and it only takes 10 minutes to make!
Prep: 2 minutes
Cook: 8 minutes
Total: 10 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Equipment

Ingredients 

For the Popcorn

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels

For the Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup furikake, or to taste
  • 1 ½ cups Japanese rice crackers, also called arare, or mochi crunch

Instructions 

Make the Popcorn

  • Heat the oil in a sauté pan or saucepan on medium-high heat.
  • Place 2 or 3 popcorn kernels into the oil, and cover the pan. Wait for the popcorn kernels to pop. (It may take a few minutes)
  • Once the kernels pop, add the rest of popcorn kernels and distribute into an even layer.
  • Cover the pan again and remove from heat. Let it rest for 30 seconds. (This prevents the oil from getting too hot before the kernels are ready to pop)
  • Return the pan to the heat and continue cooking the popcorn.
  • Once the kernels start popping, keep the lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape.
  • Continue cooking until the popping sound slows to about several seconds between pops. Remove the lid, and dump the popcorn into a large serving bowl.

Make Hurricane Popcorn

  • Melt the butter in an empty hot pan (or microwave it if you prefer).
  • Drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn.
  • Add Japanese rice crackers, and sprinkle furikake.
  • Toss to distribute and serve.

Notes

  • It’s best to use a high-quality, heavy-bottomed pot for even heat distribution.
  • Make sure to keep the lid slightly ajar to let the steam escape from the pot. This will make the popcorn extra crispy, as well as prevent your popcorn from burning.
  • You can add more Japanese rice crackers and furikake if you want more flavorful popcorn.
