A white sauce with no soymilk? Well, you can buy mochi in a health food
store. It is a brick made up of brown rice; normally it is baked and
puffs up to provide a nice snack. However, it can be melted in some sort
of liquid to make a thick sauce. If you don't want soymilk, you can use
rice milk or (maybe) water. I have added nutritional yeast, mustard, and
hot sauce to give it a quasi-cheesy flavor. If you buy the plain mochi,
it will not add any kind of flavor. In Lindsay Wagner's High Road to
Health cookbook, there is a guideline for making a sauce with mochi. It
is available in most libraries. Good luck.
