## FAQ

### Can I use water instead of vegetable broth?

You can, but the broth is doing the seasoning work here. If you only have water, keep the noodles' spice packet or dissolve half a stock cube in it — 150 g of cheddar needs a savory base underneath or the dish tastes flat.

### Why grate the cheddar instead of cutting chunks?

Grated cheese melts evenly into the hot broth in seconds, turning it into a smooth sauce. Chunks melt from the outside in and tend to clump into strings before the centre softens. Grate it while the noodles simmer — no extra time needed.

### Why add soy sauce to cheesy noodles?

A dash of soy sauce adds umami depth that flat cheese sauces miss — it seasons the broth and sharpens the cheddar without making the dish taste of soy. It's the "just the right touch" that keeps this from being plain cheese noodles.
