ARE YOU READY FOR SRIRACHA MAC AND CHEESE?

We’ve always been suckers for mac and cheese. Whether it was the boxed stuff after school – or a bubbling casserole dish filled with grandma’s baked mac and cheese – there’s nothing more comforting and moreish than pasta in a creamy sauce.

Well, let’s hear it for hearty, satisfying classics with a little twist!

We’ve taken the essence of the original and ratcheted up the flavors with two common and delicious pantry staples.

Sriracha delivers a punch of sweet heat to the mix without overpowering the entire dish. And soy sauce comes correct with a level of savory, umami goodness that elevates the entire thing to new heights.

Now, we’re using a combination of cheddar cheese and Parmesan, but you can use whatever cheese you prefer. It’s so great with gruyère too… just sayin’.

And we’ve stuck with the informal and easy origins of this recipe – because you’ll never guess how easy it is to make this homemade mac and cheese in your rice cooker!

HOW TO MAKE MAC AND CHEESE IN A RICE COOKER

To make rice cooker mac and cheese, first you’ll want to cook your pasta. Just place your macaroni and water into the inner pot of your Tiger multifunctional rice cooker – and select the Slow Cook setting for 30 minutes.

Once your pasta is done, open the lid and stir in your cheese, milk, sriracha and soy sauce (see the ingredients tab on this page for exact measurements). Then close the lid again and wait for 10 minutes so everything gets melted and ooey-gooey. Trust us, the wait will be worth it!

Finally, open the lid and serve it up! We top ours with chopped scallions (yum!).

The entire family will love the spicy, umami creaminess. Make this sriracha mac and cheese your new easy go-to weeknight recipe.
