In a bowl combine minced pork, egg, garlic, ginger, oyster sauce, soy sauce, corn flour, white pepper and salt.

In a stockpot, bring chicken stock to a boil, then lower heat to keep hot.
In a large pot, bring water to a rapid boil,.
blanch choy sum until just al dente, strain well, set aside for garnish.
In the same boiling water, using a 'spider sieve' cook wonton noodles one coil at a time for a min or so, remove from boiling water, dip into a bowl of fresh water before dipping into the boiling water again.
Drain well and put into individual serving bowls.
In the same boiling water, carefully drop in a few wontons at a time, cook for 2 mins or so [test one for doneness].
Pour hot chicken soup stock over noodles, garnish with a few wontons, sliced roast pork, blanched choy sum and chopped scallions.
Serve hot immediately, and if preferred, a condiment of sliced pickled green chilies on the side.
