  3. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil, add salt and oil. Blanch the choy sum for 40 to 50 seconds until bright green and tender.
  4. In the same pot, cook the thin egg noodles according to package instructions, typically 4 to 6 minutes until al dente.
  5. Add wontons to the boiling water and cook until they float, usually around 3 to 4 minutes. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
  6. Ladle the broth over the noodles and wontons. Top with sliced char siu, choy sum, sesame oil, fried shallots, and green onions.
