    1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and whisk in the flour evenly. Cook until it bubbles and thickens slightly (2–3 minutes) to make a roux. 2. Pour the milk into the roux in a thin stream, stirring constantly until smooth. Bring to a boil, then immediately turn the heat down to low. 3. Add the grated cheese and stir until it melts. Stir in the chili pickling liquid and the salt. 4. For a silky-smooth texture, blitz the sauce in a blender for 10–20 seconds. 5. Pour it into a serving dish and stir in the chopped pickled chilies. You can keep this sauce for 2 days, chilled in an airtight container. Before serving, reheat it gently on the stovetop or in 30-second bursts in the microwave. Enjoy!
