1 cup vegetable oil

Where to find ingredients
You can find all these pantry essentials at local markets in Honiara or smaller grocery stores throughout the provinces. Look for standard vegetable oil and granulated sugar in the dry goods aisle; high-quality, dried popping corn is typically available in the bulk staples section of larger supermarkets.
Preparation method
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot or popcorn maker, combine the popcorn kernels, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and water.
- Place the pot over medium heat.
- Stir the mixture continuously, making sure all the kernels are well-coated and evenly exposed to the heat.
- Keep stirring until all the kernels have popped.
- As soon as the popping slows down, remove the pot from the heat immediately to prevent the sugar from burning.
- Pour the sweet popcorn onto a cool surface or a wide baking sheet and spread it out to cool down until it becomes crispy.
