However, there’s popcorn, with sriracha on it, so, words probably aren’t genuinely necessary, are they?

Wanna know something I learned recently? It’s surprisingly straightforward and surprisingly flavorful to pop your own popcorn on the stove-top. I didn’t know that people actually did that but I did a lot of reading about it and turns out, it can be a rather controversial topic. And by that I mean some people SWEAR by stove-top popcorn and you better not mess with them! Fun side-tip: you can also only put popping corn kernels in a paper bag and pop them in the microwave.

I went for the stove-top method because that seemed fun.

Vegetable (or coconut) oil is added to a large pot along with simply a few of the popping corn kernels over medium heat. Once those kernels pop (indicating that the pot is ready), all of the remaining kernels are added in. Shaking the pot occasionally, let the kernels pop until the popping slows down similar to popping a bag in the microwave. This’ll take about 5 minutes.

In the end, you’ll end up with something a little like this:

Now all that’s left is to melt a little butter and add a little sriracha to it.

Pour the butter/ sriracha mixture over the popcorn

And toss to coat well. Salt and pepper to taste although it doesn’t genuinely need either.

AND, that’s all I have for you today, dear friends. I hope you have a lovely Wednesday!
