- Make the black sauce: Warm up the thick soy caramel with tamari. It does not need to come to a simmer, this process helps with mixing these two sauces into a homogenous condiment.
- Make the noodles: Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high. Add the vegetables and season with salt. Cook until lightly wilted, then stir in 3 cups stock and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until the vegetables are wilted, 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Add in the black sauce and white pepper. In a small bowl, prepare a slurry by mixing the cornstarch with ½ cup|120 ml of water. Once the black sauce has come to a simmer, slowly drizzle in the slurry while whisking until thick. Add in the seafood and cover. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the shells are bright red. Adjust consistency with the remaining chicken stock.
- Meanwhile, soak the noodles in water for 1 minute, then drain. Add the noodles to the saucepan along with the vegetables and all their liquid. Allow noodles to simmer until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Garnish with scallion greens.
