At Home Japanese & White Sauce

I love Japanese... the dishes at the local restaurants are delicious. The white sauce is what makes the meal! I found a recipe for the white sauce online. I was estatic. I went home and made it, it is supposed to sit overnight to mix the flavors. I couldn't wait the next day to get in the kitchen and cook something to go w/ it. Regretably, I don't have pictures. But what I did do, was try to recreate a dish I get whenever I go out for Japanese. Japanese Steak & Shrimp 2 pieces steak - cut up into bite size pieces half a bag of shrimp - maybe 25 or so pieces 2 squash 2 zucchini 1 onion fresh sliced shrooms seaseme seed oil veggie oil soy sauce fried rice sesame seeds I sliced all the veggies and cooked them in a lot of veggie oil, a splash of sesame seed oil and soy sauce. I used my contraption that is like a big pan you heat up that sits on the counter, can't remember the name. Once tender to my liking, I removed them and added the meats, adding more of both oils. Once cooked, I added the veggies to the pan to heat everything up together. While this was going on, I made regular white rice. I attempted to fry the rice. W/ soy sauce, sesame seeds and a scrambled egg. It didn't turn out so well. The rice still tasted good, but frying it was difficult. It was starting to get browned and I grew impatient and stopped frying it - I was anxious to eat! I think if I wouldn't have made so much rice, or had a bigger pan, it would have turned out better. I served everything w/ the delicious white sauce. Perfection!!! I ate this meal for lunch the next day, and dinner as well. It was a lot of work, all the slicing and dicing - but it was worth it.
