Servings: 4Prep Time:15 minutesCook Time:20 minutes

Ingredients

1/2 yellow onion (finely diced)
1+1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger (use a rasp grater)
1 garlic clove (through a garlic press)
1 tsp cooking oil
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
3 cup dashi (see note above or vegetable broth)
1 tsp lime juice
1 12-ounce piece cod, skin removed
8 shiitake mushrooms (stems removed, caps thinly sliced)
1 carrot (peeled and sliced into thin matchsticks (or 1 handful of matchstick-cut carrots))
3 scallions (white and green parts, finely chopped)
2 tbsp fresh cilantro (roughly chopped)

1
Heat a wok or large saute pan over medium-low heat. Immediately add in the onion, ginger and garlic. Stir constantly and cook slowly for 3 minutes, until the onion is softened and all the aromatics are fragrant. Take care not to burn them!

Stir in the soy sauce, dashi and lime juice.
3
Place the cod fillet in the wok and turn the heat to medium. Cover and let the fish cook slowly, making sure that the broth stays at a bare simmer. Cook for 8 minutes.

Uncover and stir in the shiitake mushrooms, carrots and green onions.
5
Cover again and cook an additional 2 minutes or until cod flakes easily at thickest part.
6
Top with cilantro and serve immediately.
