Start by assembling all ingredients and necessary kitchen tools such as a large pot with a lid or a popcorn maker.
If using, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Set aside.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is sufficient to cover the bottom of the pot without pooling.
Add a few popcorn kernels to the pot and cover it with a lid. Once these test kernels pop, the oil is hot enough for the rest of the popcorn.
Pour the remaining popcorn kernels into the pot in a single layer and replace the lid. Shake the pot gently to coat kernels evenly with oil.
Continue to shake the pot occasionally as the kernels pop. Once the popping sound slows to a few seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat.
Carefully remove the lid, ensuring no steam burns you, and pour the popcorn into a large bowl.
Sprinkle Himalayan pink salt evenly over the popcorn, tossing gently to distribute.
If using, drizzle melted butter over the salted popcorn and toss again to coat.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy your light and airy Himalayan pink salt popcorn!
