Step 1
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook noodles until al dente, ~4 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water until chilled.
Step 2
Heat soy sauce, mirin, and dashi in a small saucepan over medium. Simmer for 2 minutes, then set aside and keep warm.
Step 3
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Season scallops or shrimp with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Sear scallops 90 seconds per side without moving until edges brown—center stays tender. (Shrimp: 2 minutes per side until pink.)
Step 5
Divide chilled noodles between two bowls. Pour hot broth into small dipping cups on the side.
Step 6
Top noodles with seared seafood, scallion, and nori. Dip noodles in hot broth between bites.
