{{nihongo|'''Cream stew'''|クリームシチュー|kurīmu shichū}} is a popular [[yōshoku]] dish consisting of meat, usually [[Chicken (food)|chicken]] or [[pork]], and mixed [[vegetable]]s, [[onion]], [[carrot]], [[potato]], and [[cabbage]], cooked in thick white [[roux]]. The vegetables are sauteed before the meat is added with some water. The surface fats are removed by [[degreasing]], and then the roux is added. It is common in Japan to use ready-made roux, for making [[Japanese curry]], which comes in a block from a box. The roux can also be cooked from scratch. The hard-paste roux melts from the heat and blends with the water to create a thick stew. [[Milk]] can also be used as a replacement for water to make the stew more creamy.<ref>{{citation | last=Kaneko | first=Amy | year=2007 | title=Let's Cook Japanese Food!: Everyday Recipes for Home Cooking | publisher=Chronicle Books | isbn=978-0-8118-4832-9 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cozw2PdLopgC  | pages=104–105 }}</ref>
