STEVE'S OFTEN COPIED, NEVER DUPLICATED, FURIKAKE CHEX MIX



Steve's Often Copied, Never Duplicated, Furikake Chex Mix image

This is a sweet and spicy Asian variation of Chex mix. There are times I have made this by the bucketful, and it still runs out at parties. I often give this out as Christmas or hostess gifts. Be very careful. This party mix is HIGHLY addictive, very dangerous to keep around in big quantities and may result in some weight gain!This recipe is a combination of a few recipes, one from foodgeeks.com and another from beanpaste.blogspot.com. It also has a few of my own personal touches.

Time 2h5m

Yield 12 1 cup, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups Rice Chex or 2 cups Crispix cereal
2 cups Wheat Chex or 2 cups Crispix cereal
2 cups Corn Chex or 2 cups Crispix cereal
2 cups honeycomb cereal (optional)
2 cups pretzel sticks (I use Rold Gold brand)
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
3 tablespoons soy sauce (I use Kikkoman. Hawaii people, DO NOT USE Aloha Brand for this!!!)
1/2 cup oil
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 (2 ounce) bottle Nori Goma Furikake (I prefer Nori Komi Furikake, but it wouldn't let me input Nori Komi Furikake, Mishima brand)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Mix together all the cereals, pretzels, and peanuts in a large baking pan (The tin foil ones that you can buy from the store to roast turkey works really well!).
  • Divide the mixture between two pans.
  • In a medium-sized sauce pan over medium to medium-high heat, melt butter.
  • Add sugar and dissolve well.
  • Add corn syrup, soy sauce, oil, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco Sauce. Stir until blended well. It works best if you heat till it reaches the hard ball stage (about 250 degrees).
  • Pour over cereal mixture, one pan at a time, and mix well.
  • Put into the oven.
  • After 15 minutes, remove from oven, and add one bottle of furikake to each pan. Mix around to evenly distribute furikake and sauce from the bottom.
  • Continue baking for about 1-2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes.
  • The cooking time fluauates depending on how crispy you want it, and how humid it is (making this in 90% humidity is a nightmare!).
  • Store in an air-tight container or ziplock bags.

Time 1h45m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ cup butter
½ cup white sugar
½ cup corn oil
½ cup light corn syrup (such as Karo®)
2 (12 ounce) packages crispy corn and rice cereal (such as Crispix®)
1 (1.9 ounce) container aji nori furikake (seasoned seaweed and sesame rice topping)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
  • Melt the butter and sugar together in a small sauce pan over low heat. Remove from heat, then stir in the corn oil and corn syrup. Place the cereal on a large baking sheet. Pour the butter mixture over the cereal, then sprinkle the furikake while tossing the cereal to coat.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cereal is dry, stirring every 15 minutes to keep cereal from browning too quickly. Allow to cool, then store in an airtight container.
