Step 1
Bring broth, soy sauce, and ginger to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add mushrooms and simmer for 5 minutes until they soften and release their aroma.
Step 3
Slide shrimp and scallops into the broth and stir gently until the water returns to a simmer.
Step 4
Cook for 3-4 minutes without stirring — shrimp should turn opaque and scallops look milky white.
Step 5
Taste and adjust soy sauce if needed — you want savory and umami-forward, not salty.
Step 6
Ladle into bowls and top with green onion slices. Serve hot.
