Method

1. Heat the oil in a large pot until the oil is almost smoking.
2. Add the popcorn kernels.
3. Shake the pot occasionally to move the kernels and coat them with hot oil.
4. When the popping noises slow down, remove the pot from the heat (wait a few seconds before taking off the lid).
5. For the sauce:
6. Add the butter, sugar and golden syrup to a frypan and stir until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.
7. Add the miso paste and vanilla and stir.
8. Allow the mixture to bubble away until the mixture starts to look glossy.
9. Add the popcorn to a large bowl and drizzle with the caramel sauce. You may find it easier to mix in smaller batches.
