Bring large pot water to boil over high heat. Have ready large bowl ice water. Add carrots, snow peas, cabbage, and spinach to boiling water and blanch until crisp-tender, about 30 seconds. Using slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to ice water to stop cooking (reserve boiling water), then transfer to colander to drain. Set aside.

Boil noodles in same water until just tender, following package instructions. Drain and transfer to 4 warmed bowls.

In medium saucepan over moderately high heat, combine dashi, soy sauce, and mirin. Bring to simmer, then add chicken, mushrooms, clams, and prawns. Simmer until chicken is cooked through, mushrooms are tender, clams open, and prawns are opaque, about 5 minutes. (Discard any unopened clams.)

Divide vegetables between bowls atop noodles, then ladle hot broth, chicken, mushrooms, clams, and prawns over. Serve immediately.
