Asian-Flavoured Snack Mix

This Asian-style snack mix is a vibrant, savoury alternative to traditional party nibbles. Combining the crunch of rice crackers and chow mein noodles with fluffy popcorn and buttery cashews, it offers a wonderful variety of textures. The glaze, enriched with hoisin, ginger and a hint of cayenne, provides a perfect balance of salty and sweet notes with a gentle warmth that builds with every handful.

Ideal for casual entertaining or as a homemade gift, this vegetarian snack is incredibly easy to prepare in large batches. The slow-roasting process in the oven ensures every element becomes perfectly crisp and infused with aromatic umami flavours. Serve it in large bowls at your next gathering or store it in an airtight container for a satisfying afternoon treat.
