comment:
This stew, called “Cream Stew” or “White Stew”, is very popular home cooking in Japan and is often eaten in the cold season. For cooking this stew, white stew paste sold in supermarkets is usually used. However, this recipe uses an original white sauce. Because this stew combines chicken and vegetables, it is very nourishing and delicious.
