3) Add in the chilli sauce and beef stock cube. Gradually add in the remaining water until the consistency is to your preference. Set aside.
4) Heat the butter in a pan or a wok. Add in the flour, stir for about 15-30 second and add in the milk.
5) Add in salt and white pepper, leave to simmer until it boils.
6) Add in the grated cheese and stir well, set aside.
7) Preheat the oven at 200'c.

9) Top it off with some more grated cheese.
10) Cover the top with a sheet of aluminium foil, bake at 200'c for 30 minutes. Then take off the foil and continue baking at 10-15 minutes at 150'c.
