Notes
- Can't find chili crisp? You could use S&B Crunchy Garlic with Chili Oil or Trader Joe's Chili Onion Crunch. You could also make your own by combining store-bought fried garlic and fried onions with chili flakes, sesame seeds, and hot oil.
- Not into the chunkier texture of chili crisp? Substitute sriracha.
- Don't drain the water at all! The cheese will thicken the sauce up nicely.
