Once the first kernel pops, shake the pot frequently until all the kernels have popped.
Transfer the popcorn to a large bowl and add in the peanuts.
In the same pot, add in the brown sugar, vegetable oil and corn syrup over medium heat, followed by the fish sauce and lime juice.
Stir this and allow it to cook until thickened.

Spread the popcorn on a baking sheet or two and place in the oven for 30 minutes, tossing it once or twice during that time.
Allow the sticky popcorn to cool and then garnish with cilantro, if desired.
