This recipe was very easy and the result was unique and delicious. I first tried the suggestion to add the spices after popping, and it worked pretty well, but the spices don't coat the popcorn fully that way. For my last batch I started using Suzerama's approach - heating the oil before adding the popcorn, but added the sugar, salt, & five-spice mixture all at once. The difference was amazing in how much the spice mixture coated the popcorn and I still didn't have any problem with burning.

That was great!! Even my dog liked it and begged me to make more. I don't like popcorn but decided to try this with my Chicken Satay Sammies and it is great. Full of so much flavor my tastebuds didn't know what to do.

Since the reviewers suggested adding sugar/spice mixture after popping, I did this and it turned out great. I think where people had trouble with RR's version is that she specifically said on the show to keep shaking the pot. That is key to not burning it. I found this a bit unwieldy to do and messy to clean up which is why I gave it 4 stars, but it works! Even my 6 y/o drama queen who does not like "spicy" ate this up. Go figure....
