Hibachi chefs make it LOOK hard ;)

Ever since my freshman year in college I have been obsessed with Japanese food, and have always wanted to learn how to make it myself. Every time I go to a Japanese steakhouse I get excited to see the chefs prepare the food on the open grill right in front of me. Because of the elaborate show they put on, I always thought it would be hard to make, but surprisingly it is not! I am equally obsessed with the "white sauce" that usually comes with Japanese cuisine so I will share that recipe with you first. It is recommended that the sauce be made the day before to allow the ingredients to mesh together. I found the recipe for both at a random sight I found on Google, but I think it comes out tasting delicious!

Ingredients for "white sauce":

1 & 1/4 cup mayonnaise (I used miracle whip on my second batch and it worked great for a lot less calories)
1/4 cup water
1 tsp tomato paste
1 tbs melted butter
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp paprika
dash cayenne pepper Whisk all ingredients until blended smoothly. Ingredients for Hibachi meal: rice zucchini onion soy sauce salt/pepper egg butter sesame seeds chicken or steak To cook the rice measure the amount of rice you would like to use and bring to a boil with twice as much water. Add a teaspoon of butter and a dash of salt. Bring down to a low-medium setting, stir once more and cover for 15 minutes without touching it. Take off heat and stir. Let rice cool while you prepare your vegetables. Slice zucchini, onions and chicken or steak in desired sizes. Put them all into a greased pan on medium heat. Add soy sauce to taste over the mix. When chicken is done, add a touch of salt/pepper, a couple tablespoons of butter and sesame seeds. Saute until vegetables are soft but still a bit crunchy. Fry rice with 2 tablespoons of oil. Add butter and mix well. Make an empty spot to fry an egg, then chop and blend with rice. Add salt, pepper, sesame seeds and soy sauce to rice. Mix rice with vegetables in pan or leave separate to place vegetables on top. Serve with prepared white sauce at room temperature. Enjoy!
