Cream stew(クリームシチュー,kurīmu shichū)is a popularyōshokudish consisting of meat, usuallychickenorpork,and mixedvegetables,onion,carrot,potato,andcabbage,cooked in thick whiteroux.The vegetables are sauteed before the meat is added with some water. The surface fats are removed bydegreasing,and then the roux is added. It is common in Japan to use ready-made roux, for makingJapanese curry,which comes in a block from a box.
