I want my kids to eat additive-free food! This recipe was created with the love of a mother. You can cook this in no time with an amount of ingredients that is easy to work with.This all-purpose white sauce goes well with croquettes, lasagna, stew, risotto, and any other dishes. This comes in handy when I make my kids' favourite dishes!Stay close to the pot, and stir constantly so that the mixture doesn't burn. Use a pot that won't get scratched by the whisk easily!Heat with a wooden spatula first, and mix with the whisk at the end to make the mixture smooth.White sauce easily gets lumpy, but you can make this white sauce perfectly without failing!

I watched a TV programme a long time ago where the cook showed how to make béchamel sauce. I thought it looked really difficult...and it was!So I made a simpler version of the recipe. This is now how we always make it at home.It's easiest to use a non-stick frying pan.You only need to mix quickly during Step 3. After that, you just need to stir slowly, but don't take any breaks.

I found this recipe in a very old children's recipe book from decades ago. I changed bits and pieces, made the amounts easier to remember and added some stock for flavor.Don't leave the pan even for a second, keep paying attention and don't stop stirring! You don't have to cook the flour in this recipe so it's thankfully really hard to get wrong! You can use this basic sauce as-is on au gratin and doria dishes. Or you can add milk to stretch it out with soup to add it to a variety of dishes. It's freezable too. Recipe by Anchomai

I tried making a white sauce I could use in gratin and baked rice dishes!In Step 2, add the milk in two batches and mix well with a whisk so it doesn't become lumpy! Recipe by bvivid

I got this recipe from my friend, since their white sauce was delicious.This is so easy, it takes less than 5 minutes from start to finish.Just keep on mixing.If you make too much, you can always freeze it!The sauce will solidify when cooled, but it will become runny again when reheated. For 4 servings. Recipe by RyouTaiga

My husband requests this the most.He doesn't know that this white sauce takes only 5 minutes.My microwave is 600 W.Adjust the thickness of the sauce with the last round of heating. Cook it to suit your tastes. Recipe by yukari-

I was able to easily make this by referring to Ms. Sachiko Murakami's microwavable recipes. The flavor is simple but skim milk powder and vegetable oil turned out to be a hit and it was easy to make! I have used this in other recipes as well and it doesn't affect the flavor.If you're want a stronger and richer flavor, butter is the best. Using vegetable or oilve oil gives it a more simple flavor. It's hard to thicken it though so please refer to Step 5. I think it's best to heat up gradually and cook down till the moisture evaporates. In Step 4, be sure to mix well so that the flour doesn't settle on the bottom. Recipe by maynyan

This takes just 10 minutes!No lumps! Easy! Delicious!During Step 3, add the milk just a little at a time, just before it comes to a boil.Be careful not to let it boil. Recipe by REeKO

I wanted to use up some milk that was nearing its use-by date. This is a trick we use often in my house.Cut the sauce with a spatula in Step 3.If it's too hard to use in Step 4, add milk or soup stock to adjust the thickness. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

I created this recipe as I wanted to cook a quick and easy gratin dish. If you have the white sauce, you can cook various gratin with ingredients readily at hand!Please use a large heat-proof bowl.During microwaving, the sauce will swell as the white sauce is thick! Please be careful not to burn yourself.If you cook too much, divide into small portions and store in the freezer. You can keep it for about a month. Recipe by moritoaruc

I've been making white sauce with this recipe for a long time. It's easy, but the taste is pretty authentic! Perfect for doria (rice casserole) and dishes cooked au gratin.Microwave it without cling film wrapped over it! It may not seem thick enough at first, but once it cools down, the sauce will naturally thicken. The sauce is well seasoned, so adjust the taste with other ingredients! Recipe by Toiroiro
