Chili Crisp Mac and Cheese
30 mins prepServes 6
A savory and spicy twist on an American classic! This Chili Crisp Mac & Cheese is creamy with a spicy kick from chili crisp topped with crunchy furikake bread crumbs— the perfect fall comfort dish.
In a pot of water, cook the elbow pasta noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set it aside.
In another pan, heat butter and chili crisp on medium-high heat until the butter is melted.
Add the flour to the melted butter/chili crisp and stir to create a roux, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the milk to the roux and cook until the sauce thickens. Add the shredded white cheddar cheese and stir to create a silky, smooth cheese sauce.
Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce and mix to combine.
In a small pan, heat the panko bread crumbs, sesame oil, and furikake seasoning on low heat. Toast the breadcrumb mixture just until it is golden brown.
Top the chili crisp mac & cheese with the toasted furikake bread crumbs and enjoy!
