Method

Prep the toppings

Rinse the Choy Sum well, shake it dry, and cut it into 5 cm pieces. Slice the Char Siu (Chinese Barbecued Pork) into bite-size pieces, thinly slice the Green Chilies, and thinly slice the Spring Onion for garnish.

Pickle the chilies

Stir the sliced green chilies with Rice Vinegar, Sugar, and Salt until the sugar dissolves. Let them sit for 30 minutes so they soften slightly and turn bright and tangy.

Mix the filling

In a bowl, combine the Minced Pork, finely chopped Raw Shrimp, Light Soy Sauce, Oyster Sauce, Sesame Oil, sugar, Cornstarch, White Pepper, and the chopped spring onion. Mix vigorously until the filling turns sticky and slightly springy when you lift it with a spoon.

Wrap the wontons

Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each Wonton Wrappers, then dab the edges with a little water, fold, and pinch firmly to seal. Keep going until you have used all 24 wrappers, and lay the finished wontons on a tray so they do not stick together.

Mix the noodle sauce

In a small bowl, stir together the light soy sauce, Dark Soy Sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, the remaining sugar, white pepper, hot Chicken Stock, and Shallot Oil until the sauce looks smooth and glossy.

Simmer the soup

Bring the remaining chicken stock to a gentle simmer with lightly crushed Garlic, a splash of light soy sauce, and a little white pepper. Keep it on low for 10 minutes so the garlic perfumes the broth, then keep it warm.

Boil noodles and wontons

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Cook the wontons for 4 minutes, or until they float and the filling is cooked through, then lift them out. In the same water, blanch the Fresh Thin Egg Noodles (Wonton Mee) for 30 seconds just until loosened, add the choy sum, and cook for 1 minute more until the greens are bright and tender-crisp. Drain everything very well so the sauce clings instead of pooling.

Assemble the bowls

Divide the noodles among bowls and toss them with the noodle sauce so every strand is coated. Top with the char siu, choy sum, and wontons, then ladle the hot soup into small bowls or serve it on the side. Finish with the spring onion and the pickled chilies alongside.
