- Category: Snacks
- Method: Bake
- Cuisine: Korean
Ingredients
-
2 cups cheddar square crackers (I used Simple Mills)
-
2 cups wheat square cereal
-
2 cups salted pretzel twists
-
1 cup whole raw unsalted almonds
-
1 cup whole raw unsalted cashews
-
1/3 cup melted ghee or butter (melt first, then measure)
-
1 Tbsp (heaping) fermented chile paste (aka gochujang)
-
2 tsp soy sauce
-
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
-
1 tsp granulated garlic
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
-
Combine all dry ingredients (crackers through cashews) in a large dish or bowl.
-
Melt the ghee in a liquid measuring cup (about one minute on high in the microwave), then add chile paste, garlic powder, soy sauce and sesame oil and stir with a fork until well combined.
-
Pour the liquid over the snack mix and toss well to completely coat (it takes a minute or two). Transfer to a large foil-lined baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
-
Bake for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Cool completely before transferring to an airtight dish or freezer bag.
Notes
- This mix will likely keep for up to a week. You can also freeze it for up to four months.
- If you like heat, increase the amount of gochujang to 1.5-2 Tbsp.
