Instead of boring and repetitive popcorn for watching a movie or a game, you can make a more interesting and equally crunchy Asian-inspired snack. To do this, fry popcorn, either in oil or in the microwave, and combine it with popcorn shrimp. These are small shrimp fried in batter. They probably got their name from their size and the fact that they are eaten in the same way as popcorn. Mix steamed and then fried crispy instant noodles, or ramen, into the bowl with the popcorn and shrimp, along with wasabi-dipped peas, which adds a piquant note to the whole snack.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering and smoking slightly. Carefully pour the popcorn into the pan. Cover with a lid slightly ajar and heat, shaking occasionally, until all the kernels have popped.
Meanwhile, soak the ramen noodles in warm water until soft, about 4 minutes. Separate the noodles and pat dry. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons vegetable oil until shimmering and smoking slightly, about 2 minutes. Spread about a third of the ramen noodles in an even layer in the skillet. Fry until crispy, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip the noodles with a spatula and continue frying until golden brown on the other side, another 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the crispy noodles to a paper towel-lined plate. Fry 2 more batches of noodles in the same manner. Break the crispy noodles into small pieces.
