Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
2. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick, 8 Tbsp) unsalted butter over medium heat.
3. Add 1/2 cup brown rice syrup, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup neutral oil and 2 Tbsp soy sauce.
4. Lower the heat so it does not boil, and stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
5. Meanwhile, put 4 cups Corn Chex, 4 cups Wheat Chex, 4 cups Honeycomb cereal, 4 cups Bugles, 2 cups pretzel sticks and 1 bag (2.5 oz / 73 g) Japanese roasted green pea snack into a large, high-sided baking pan.
6. Whisk the syrup again and drizzle it evenly over the mix. Toss with two silicone spatulas until evenly coated.
7. Sprinkle 1 jar nori komi furikake over the mix and toss until all pieces are coated. For extra heat, add 2 tsp shichimi togarashi, to taste (optional).
8. Bake at 250°F (120°C) for 1 hour, tossing the mix every 15 minutes (3 times in total, including after the first 15 minutes).
9. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, tossing every 15 minutes (at least 3 times) to break up clusters.
10. If the mix clumps, bake another 15 minutes until the syrup melts and the mix loosens, then toss every 15 minutes again while it cools.
11. Serve right away or store in airtight containers; keeps 2–3 weeks in a cool, dark place or 2–3 months in the freezer.
