Method
-
1
Heat the rapeseed oil in a large pan over medium heat. Drop in 2–3 popcorn kernels. When they pop, the oil is ready.
-
2
Add the rest of the kernels, stir to coat in oil, and cover. Reduce to low heat and let the magic happen — shake the pan occasionally to stop burning. Once the popping slows, remove from heat.
-
3
While still hot, drizzle with chilli oil and toss well. Add salt if using.

You can also try nutritional yeast for a savoury umami hit. Or sugar for a sweet and spicy version
