Whenever I visit the cinema, I ask for a mixture of sweet and salty popcorn in one big box. Here that classic combo gains an extra depth of flavour from umami-rich nori and toasted sesame seeds, while soft brown sugar lends the popcorn a sweetness not dissimilar to that of the crispy seaweed you can get in Chinese restaurants.

The addition of melted butter makes this a slightly less virtuous snack but it is particularly delicious, with the added bonus of helping the seasoning to coat each piece of popped corn. Omit the butter, if you prefer.

2
Melt the coconut oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add 3 popcorn kernels, cover with a lid and cook over a medium heat until they pop
3
Immediately add the rest of the corn after the corn has popped, replace the lid and cook, shaking the pan occasionally until all the kernels have popped
4
Transfer the popped corn to a large bowl and pour over the melted butter, if using. Sprinkle over your sweet and salty nori mixture and use your hands to mix well until every piece is coated
