Measure the desired amount of popcorn kernels.
Transfer the measured popcorn kernels into a microwave-safe bowl and add just enough water to cover the kernels.
Allow the popcorn kernels to soak in the water for about 10 minutes.
Pour out the water from the bowl.
Sprinkle salt or your preferred seasoning over the moist popcorn kernels.
Use a microwave-safe plate or a microwave cover to cover the bowl.
Place the covered bowl in the microwave and set the timer for 3-4 minutes.
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and let it rest for a minute or two.
Transfer it into a serving bowl, remove any unpopped kernels, and enjoy.
