Spicy Szechuan Popcorn Recipe.

Ingredients:

3 TBSP Peanut Oil
1/2 Cup Popcorn Kernels
3 TSP Salt
3 TBSP Butter (Unsalted)
1/2 Cup Peanut Oil
1/2 Cup Dried Chilies (Whole)
1/2 Cup Sesame Seeds
1/2 Cup Szechuan Peppercorns
4 TSP Sugar

Recipe Instructions:

In a large metal 6 quart mixing bowl, place the oil, popcorn and salt, cover with aluminum foil and poke a few small holes in the top.
Place the bowl over medium heat and shake constantly using a pair or tongs or heatproof gloves to hold the bowl.
Continue shaking until the popcorn stops popping, roughly 3 minutes.
Remove the bowl from the heat and carefully remove the aluminum foil, stir in any salt that remains on the side of the bowl.
Melt the butter in the microwave, about 30 seconds on high and slowly drizzle over the popcorn while turning the bowl.
In a large skillet, heat peanut oil over medium heat, heat the peppercorns, sesame seeds, sugar and chili peppers, until they are toasted for about 4 minutes.
Pour this mixture over the cooked popcorn and shake or toss to coat evenly.
Serve immediately.
