Place a pot over medium flame.

Add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and 1/2 cup of popcorn to the pot, ensuring they are in a single layer.

Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the flame to medium, waiting for the first popcorn to pop.

Once all the popcorn is fully popped, transfer it to a bowl using a kitchen towel to wipe down the pot.

In the same pot, add 3 tablespoons of butter over medium flame and wait for it to melt.

Add sugar and salt to the melted butter, stirring continuously for about 1 minute until the sugar is fully melted.

Once bubbling occurs, turn off the flame and add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, stirring it into the caramel mixture.

Add the popped popcorn to the caramel and mix with a spatula until fully coated, being careful as it is very hot.

Transfer the caramel-coated popcorn to a baking tray to cool down for easier breaking apart.
