Notes

Spice- If you don’t like really spicy foods you can just add a little kimchi, the flavour of kimchi still works really well in this in small amounts.
Sauce consistency- The amount of milk listed in the ingredients is just a guide as different flours vary in absorbency so be sure to add the milk bit by bit to ensure your mac n cheese sauce consistency is perfect!
