Method
 

For the Broth and Flavor Base
  1. Layer Aromatics: Place sliced ginger, garlic, and onion in the Crockpot. Pour fish stock, soy sauce, and a pinch of red pepper flakes over them to create a fragrant base.
  2. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours, stirring once halfway through. The broth should be deeply aromatic with softened onions and a golden hue.
For the Seafood
  1. Add Seafood: Gently nestle cod fillets and shrimp into the simmering broth. Ensure they’re partially submerged so they absorb flavors evenly and turn opaque in texture.
  2. Cook Until Tender: Cover and cook on HIGH for 20–25 minutes until seafood is just cooked through and firm to the touch, while the broth deepens in color.
For the Vegetables and Garnish
  1. Stir in Greens: Add baby bok choy or spinach, cooking for 3–5 minutes until leaves wilt. This step preserves a vibrant green color and tender-crisp texture.
  2. Finish and Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice, sprinkle green onions and cilantro over the stew. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or pepper if needed.
