Japanese Steakhouse Style Fried Rice & Yum Yum (Shrimp) Sauce Recipe

Ok, y'all, I'm going to share my all time favorite recipe with y'all tonight....Japanese fried rice and yum yum or shrimp sauce! I also made teriyaki zucchini and baked sweet & sour chicken:) Anthony & I have it at least once a month and it saves us a ton of money, we used to go out to Japanese Steakhouses but now we just make it at home! I always have to make a huge double batch of the rice & sauce though because there are several guys Anthony work with that beg me to make it for them as well! haha:) It's pretty simple and can be tweaked to suit almost anyone's tastes. I always cook my white rice and prepare the sauce the night before, it tastes much better after sitting overnight in the fridge. I hope y'all enjoy it as much as we all do!
