Singaporean Style Popcorn

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Popcorn Kernels
• 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
• 1/4 cup Palm Sugar
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt

Instructions

1. 1Place a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the 2 tbsp of vegetable oil and heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
2. 2Add the 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels to the hot oil. Immediately cover the pot with a lid.
3. 3Cook the popcorn, shaking the pot occasionally, until the popping slows to about 2-3 seconds between each pop, approximately 3-5 minutes. Listen for the sound to tell you it's done.
4. 4Carefully remove the pot from the heat and pour all the popped popcorn into a large heatproof bowl.
5. 5In a small saucepan, melt the 1/4 cup of palm sugar over low heat until it becomes a smooth liquid, about 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
6. 6Drizzle the melted 1/4 cup of palm sugar evenly over the popcorn in the bowl. Immediately sprinkle the 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1/2 tsp of chili powder, and 1/2 tsp of salt over the popcorn.
7. 7Gently toss the popcorn with a large spoon or spatula until the sugar and seasonings are well distributed. Serve immediately.
