Step 1
Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add dried anchovies and kombu; boil 8 minutes.
Step 2
Strain through a fine sieve into a clean bowl, discarding solids. Return broth to pot.
Step 3
Mix flour, egg, and 0.25 cup water in a bowl until a shaggy dough forms, ~2 minutes.
Step 4
Knead dough on a floured surface until smooth and slightly elastic, ~5 minutes.
Step 5
Divide dough into 2 pieces. Stretch one piece flat on a floured surface to a thin sheet.
Step 6
Fold dough in half, then half again. Using a sharp knife, cut into thin noodle-like strips.
Step 7
Repeat with remaining dough piece. Set noodles aside on a floured plate.
Step 8
Bring broth back to a boil. Add shrimp and squid; cook until shrimp turns pink, ~3 minutes.
