    My mom and I are HUGE popcorn junkies, so I showed her this video in the hopes we could try it out. She was rather hesitant at first, especially since she knows I’m a wuss with spicy food (also we have one of those hand-crank popcorn spinners instead of a wok and weren’t sure if this would compromise the recipe).
    So we worked up to it: first, we decided to put the salt into the cooking oil instead of sprinkling it on the popcorn afterwards. This turned out to be a GAME CHANGER, and she vowed to never do it the old way ever again.
    Then I got my hands on a jar of Lao Gan Ma. We started by just using the oil and setting aside the solids. VERY tasty. Then we both added the solids; ALSO very tasty, but I’m a huge wuss and can only handle a little bit, so Mom claimed the rest.
    If it weren’t for heartburn we’d try the chili powder, and maybe one day we’ll work up to that too, but even with just the Lao Gan Ma it’s DELICIOUS. Five stars, 10/10, would recommend Pepcorn to a friend that isn’t my mom.

      My mother would scream at us for doing things she said we should do. We built a couch / sheet fort. She placed an expensive vase on top of a shelf to hold part of it in place. I asked "are you sure thats a good idea?" (as a child under 10). When my dad came home, she started yelling at him about "the kids". How they broke her prized pottery and also cracked the floor tiles in the process. That's normal for mom.

If you want to add heat, read up on what kind of gochugaru you're getting - I once accidentally bought very mild gochugaru that was used as a not-spicy flavoring. Spoiler alert, I can't read Korean. Note: Lao Gan Ma is Chinese.

    I haven't made pepcorn yet because I'm only midway through the video, but I just want to confirm some things I have learned in my popping days for y'all:
    - Buying buckets of popcorn kernels and stovepopping is 100% the way to go, i can't even enjoy microwave bag popcorn anymore
    - 1/2 cup kernels is, by experiment, about the same as a "large" at an average movie theatre
    - i personally disagree with the use of so little oil, but i'd never go higher than equal portions kernels-to-oil
    - for the best movie theatre taste and movie theatre heart disease, the correct type of common household oil is butter-flavored crisco
    - do not use a shallow or small pot/pan. You need at minimum a large saucepan, but even there you need a lid instead of foil
