Drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with remaining wasabi mixture. Toss to combine.
Notes
Store leftover popcorn in a sealed container or up to 3 days for best flavor and texture.
I highly recommend a metal bowl over plastic. The smooth surface makes it much easier to stir.
Microwave method – place one-third cup of popcorn kernels in a brown lunch bag and microwave for 3.5 minutes, or use the popcorn button. I usually make two batches and snack on the leftovers.
Stovetop method – Pour 3 tablespoons of oil and 0.5-cup of popcorn kernels into a 4-quart pot. Cover pot with lid leaving it slightly ajar so the steam can escape. Cook popcorn over medium heat shaking the pan frequently. When popping slows, remove the the pot from heat.
