Kimchi Mac 'n' Cheese
This is a tasty twist on your standard mac 'n' cheese, adding fermented kimchi to the cheese sauce!
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan. Grate cheddar, mozzarella and parmesan.
Step 2
Cook macaroni in a pot of boiling salted water according to pack instructions, about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse the macaroni in cold water, then set aside.
Step 3
Meanwhile, melt 60g butter in a medium-size saucepan and whisk in the flour until completely mixed through. This is your roux. Continue cooking and stirring for about 4 minutes as the roux turns golden, remove pan from the heat, add a third of the milk and whisk vigorously for 30 seconds. Return to the heat, slowly add the rest of the milk and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
Step 4
Remove from the heat and add the mustard powder, cheddar, mozzarella and kimchi. Season to taste.
Step 5
Melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan, and combine with the breadcrumbs & parmesan.
Step 6
Thoroughly combine the macaroni and cheese sauce in a large baking dish. Top with your parmesan and breadcrumb mixture and cook in the oven for 10-15 minutes until golden and crispy on top.
Step 7
Combine the rocket, lemon juice, a splash of olive oil, salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Serve your kimchi mac 'n' cheese straight from the baking dish, alongside your rocket salad.
