【Homemade sweet popcorn】---full of childhood joy

Overview

When I was a child, during the off-season or before the Spring Festival, people in the village would make popcorn. They would use a large round iron stove and a wooden bellows box to raise the stove, light a charcoal fire under the stove, and then pull the lever of the wooden box to increase the firepower by constantly blowing air from the pot. In a short time, a large furnace of popcorn would be ready. With that loud noise, all our children will cover their ears and hide behind the adults. When the food is poured out, the children will swarm forward. At this time, we children feel very happy, just like going to the market. Everyone eats popcorn and chases and plays. For many years, no one has gone to the village to make this. Whenever I make popcorn in a pan, I can't help but think of the happy scene from my childhood.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Rinse the corn kernels to remove dust, dry them with a clean towel or kitchen cloth, add a little olive oil and mix well.

   

2. 2 Preheat the pan slightly and add the corn kernels.

   

3. 3 Cover the lid, occasionally pick up the pot, and shake it so that the corn kernels can be heated evenly.

   

4. 4 After about 1 or 2 minutes, you can see through the lid that the corn kernels are beginning to pop. When they begin to pop, turn down the heat.

   

5. 5 The more it explodes the more it becomes. (Remember to pick up the pot and shake it frequently so that the corn kernels will be heated evenly)

   

6. 6 When there is no more popping, there is no more popcorn. After popping, immediately open the lid of the pot, add 2 tablespoons of sugar, and stir-fry until the sugar melts and sticks to the popcorn. (The amount of sugar depends on your preference)
