Description
A sweet and salty oriental snack mix made in your slow cooker!
Ingredients
Scale
- Box of Quaker oat squares
- 3 oz can of chow mein noodles
- 1 cup cashews or peanuts
- 1/3 cup veg. oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tsp. garlic powder (not garlic salt!)
- 1 tsp. onion powder
Instructions
- Add a slow cooker liner to your slow cooker.
- Add in cereal, cashews, and chow mein noodles.
- Combine remaining ingredients (vegetable oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder) in small bowl.
- Quickly pour over cereal mixture in slow cooker.
- Gently stir to coat evenly.
- Cook on low for 3 hours, stirring at the 1 hour, 2 hour, and 2.5 hour mark to keep it from burning. (I like to use the liner to lift out all the mixture and gently shake it around in the bag so I have more room.)
- Remove from slow cooker and spread out on parchment or a cookie sheet to completely cool.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. (If it lasts that long…)
Notes
- Gluten-free: This is definitely not gluten-free, but you could sub: gf soy sauce, a mix of rice/corn chex for the cereal, and pretzels for the chow mein noodles. I’d also add in a teaspoon of brown sugar to the oil to make up for the slight sweet you’d be missing from the Quaker oat squares.
- Vegetarian/vegan: This is vegan if you use vegan soy sauce.
