Gochujang Mac and cheese 🧀 🌶️

Gochujang Mac and Cheese

Ingredients:
- 500g dried elbow pasta
- 120g unsalted butter
- 70g all-purpose flour
- 1L milk
- 250g medium sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 250g mozzarella cheese, grated
- 3 tbsp Gochujang
- salt, to taste
- white pepper, to taste
- 60g panko breadcrumbs
- mustard (amount as preferred, suggest 1 tbsp)

Method:
1. In a medium pot over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously. Cook this roux for 2-3 minutes until it starts to get a slight colour.
2. Gradually add the milk to the roux while continuously whisking to prevent lumps. Keep whisking until the mixture becomes smooth.
3. Lower the heat to medium, and add the Gochujang and 3/4 of both the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses to the sauce. Stir until the cheese melts completely into the sauce.
4. Season with salt and white pepper to taste, and stir in the mustard. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
5. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain well.
6. Return the drained pasta to the pot, and pour the cheese sauce over the pasta. Stir well to ensure all the pasta is coated with the sauce.
7. Transfer the mac and cheese into an oven-safe dish. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheeses evenly over the top, followed by the panko breadcrumbs.
8. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.

My wife, rest her soul, made a 3 cheese mac 'n cheese very similar. Best I've ever had. Another terrific video, chef.

as a korean, i can confirm gochujang & kimchi pairs surprisingly well with cheese💖😆 the combo is seen pretty commonly in trendy fusion restaurants in korea! i’ve also seen someone add bits of kimchi to their mac & cheese before altho i haven’t tried it

Andy, I have been home helping my Ma with some things, and this year I have been able to cook her some things you taught me on your channel. I have no words brother. Just want to say thank you for enriching my life and allowing me share that a little with the people I love the most. Legend.

I really like fusions of asian and european/american cuisines. It might not be traditional, and some people would be offended by it, but for example tomato sauces are great with fish sauce/soy sauce/oyster sauce or like like in this instance with gochujang. I like to add different asian condiments to meat with celery/onion/carrot mixture (I just don't call it Bolognese afterwards). The end flavor is different and I like it.

Andy makes the ingredients become something else like they are trained or tamed or made better by him. He handles ingredients so confidently.

Peppers belong in mac & cheese in some form. Brings it to the next level! Thanks for the inspiration ❤

The 'YESSS!!' I let out when you said 'Gochujang' was visceral.

[CraigMader]

Take it further and add some uncooked shrimp or crawdad before it goes in the oven. Dont worry, theyll cook fine in that hot cheesy roux. Greetings from Florida...

Once I made Andy’s original mac n cheese (the one that’s not using gochujang ofc) and my toddler is ADDICTED. I literally made a batch of the cheesy sauce every week, pop it in the fridge, then everytime he wants mac n cheese I just cook the macaroni, heat the sauce, mix them both, and add some protein and boiled veggies. That lil kid is HOOKED 🤣
So i trust you Andy my guy!!! I will make this soon!! Only for meee!

Chef, I would love to see you take on some cajun gumbo. Always a blast to watch

[ballagh]

I’d tend to add mustard to macaroni cheese but this is a tempting alternative. Would really help out cauliflower cheese as well.

[KarthikRamanIND]

Salivating 😋 can I use almond flour instead of all purpose flour ??

[anthonywolf]

Most of these are pretty standard shorts, but this caught my eye. As someone who always has a tub of Gochujang.

[bigmouth]

U should try it with Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce the added smokie flavor is amazing

[lalegende]

I’ve been looking for more ways to use gochujang so this came in clutch

[mii]

Absolutely stunning Chef Andy! Brilliant to add Asian flavour into the mac&cheese. ❤

[modelmanjohn]

Any kind of spicy works great, really. Sriracha, red hot, etc. I've had some with spicy Italian tomatoes and kimchi which added a texture diff too.

[JayyBee]

Loved the camera angle on the grater 😮😮😊😊

[evangaudet]

I always love to add cayenne pepper to my Mac and cheese and have it with a tall glass of full fat milk. Usually I’ll hand shred a bunch of chicken to stir in as well. Will have to try this gochujang

I made this for a bunch of kids at school last week, they went mental for it.
Defo a keeper on our menu now. Cheers Andy.
