Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and whisk in sugar, soy, hoisin, sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger and cayenne. Remove from heat.
- Combine popcorn, rice cereal, chow mein noodles, Asian snack mix, cashews and wasabi peas in a very large bowl. Drizzle with butter mixture and toss well to coat. Spread evenly in 2 large (18- by 13-inch) rimmed sheet pans.
- Bake, stirring every 15 minutes, a total of 1 hour.
- Cool completely in pans on racks.
Tips:
- Choose the right cereal. Cereals with a neutral flavor, such as Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes, or Chex, are best for this recipe. Avoid cereals with strong flavors, such as chocolate or fruit, as they can overpower the other ingredients.
- Use fresh ginger. Fresh ginger has a brighter, more pungent flavor than ground ginger. If you only have ground ginger on hand, you can use it, but you may need to use a little more to get the same flavor.
- Don't overcook the ginger. The ginger should be cooked until it is fragrant and slightly caramelized, but not burned. If you overcook the ginger, it will become bitter.
- Add the cereal and nuts last. This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Store the snack mix in an airtight container. This will help to keep it fresh and crispy.
Conclusion:
This gingery cereal snack mix is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for parties, potlucks, or just snacking on at home. It is also a great way to use up leftover cereal. With its sweet, spicy, and salty flavors, this snack mix is sure to please everyone.
