If you wanted to make shelf stable snacks that didn’t cost a lot but delivered on umami what would you make?
My first thought was corn nuts or baked chickpeas. A low cost main ingredient and a minimal amount of home grown herbs and MSG as a seasoning would do the job.
What else can you come up with other than beef jerky?
Picture for the algorithm.
Ah yeah no I wasn’t thinking of having you reduce your sriracha sauce - that’s a heavy lift just for popcorn that tastes like Takis. In Asian grocers in the UK (meaning India-centric), in the spice aisle they sell a ready made powder that mimics the sauce pretty well, and it sticks to hot popcorn. I had to look up the brand, I think it’s Greenfields.
I don’t think a dried pea would pop like corn does, but it would be tasty if it did.
