A bowl of popcorn is a key element to any successful Netflix marathon. And recently, we discovered a little trick to take our favorite TV snack to the next level. Turns out, you should really be drizzling it with soy sauce.

We know. It sounds really weird. But this Asian condiment adds a savory umami flavor that pairs perfectly with popcorn. Here’s how to make it at home…

Step one: Prepare a bag of instant popcorn in the microwave. Melt four tablespoons of butter in the microwave or in a saucepan, then stir in a tablespoon of soy sauce.

Step two: If you want to get adventurous and give your popcorn an extra kick, stir in a dash of wasabi, brown sugar, Sriracha, garlic salt or Parmesan.

Step three: Pour the mixture over the popcorn, stir until the kernels are evenly coated and prepare for the best movie night ever.
