- 1/2 yellow onion finely diced

- 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 tablespoons fresh cilantro roughly chopped
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.
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.

Cover again and cook an additional 2 minutes or until cod flakes easily at thickest part.
Top with cilantro and serve immediately.
