Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium pot, combine 4 cups of chicken broth with 2 slices of fresh ginger and 2 tablespoons of Shaoxing wine. Bring it to a gentle boil, then add 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce, a pinch of white pepper, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a separate pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon of oil. Blanch 1 cup of choy sum for 40-50 seconds.
  3. In the same pot, return the water to a boil and add 8 ounces of thin egg noodles. Cook for 2-3 minutes until al dente, then drain.
  4. In a small pot, bring water to a boil and gently add your wontons, cooking until they float, around 3-4 minutes. Let them simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  5. Pour the hot broth over the cooked noodles in the serving bowl, add wontons, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and stir gently.
  6. Garnish with slices of char siu pork and blanched choy sum. Sprinkle fried shallots and sliced green onions on top, and serve immediately.
