For preparing the Wontons :

1. All the Wonton ingredients (the wonton wrappers are not included) are mixed together. They are stirred to mix properly. A teaspoon of the pork mixture is placed in the center of each wonton wrapper. The edges of the wrappers are moistened with water. The edges are sealed to form a Chinese ingot or you can also make triangle shape wontons.
2. The same steps are repeated until all of the pork mixtures are used up. The wrapped wontons are put aside until they are ready to cook.

For preparing the garlic oil :

1. The cooking oil is heated in a pan and the garlic is fried over low-medium heat until it begins to become a little bit golden in color and crunchy. The garlic is quickly removed to a heat-proof bowl and it is put aside.

For preparing the mushroom sauce :

1. The mushrooms are soaked in 1 cup of warm water until they become soft. The excess water is squeezed from the mushrooms. The mushrooms are put aside but reserve the mushroom water. The mushrooms are sliced into pieces.
2. ½ tablespoons of vegetable oil is heated in a small saucepan. The garlic and mushrooms are stirred-fry for 1 minute. The rest of the ingredients are put into the saucepan but not the cornstarch mixture. They are brought to a boil.
3. They are covered and simmered for 20 minutes. The cornstarch mixture is stirred in. Let the sauce become thick a little bit. The seasonings are tasted and adjusted. The heat is turned off. The saucepan is covered and they are put aside.

For preparing the vegetables :

1. A big pot of water is brought to a boil. 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and 1 pinch of sugar and salt are put into the big pot of water. The choy sum stems are blanched first followed by the leaves. They are removed, dried out and put aside.

For cooking the Wontons :

1. Some water is boiled in a pot and the wontons are cooked in batches for more or less 1-2 minutes until they are cooked. They are once in a while stirred to avoid them from sticking to the base of the pot.
2. Dry them out and put them aside. Alternatively, they are added to some prepared chicken stock and they are beautifully decorated with spring onions.

For preparing the Noodles :

1. 1 serve of the seasoning sauce is placed in a shallow serving bowl. It is brought to a rolling boil with the same boiling water used for blanching the vegetables and 1 bundle of noodles is cooked for more or less 30 seconds or until to the way you want it.
2. A big sieve is used to dry out the noodles and it is run under cold running tap water for 5 seconds. The noodles are dipped in the boiling water again just to warm them up. The noodles are removed to the serving bowl and they are thrown up and down slowly in the seasoning sauce.
3. 6 tablespoons of the mushroom sauce are added and they are thrown up and down slowly again. A dash of white pepper is added. The noodles are beautifully decorated with choy sum, wontons and slices of char siu pork.
