Fry the pork mixture:
- Using the same wok, turn on the heat to medium high and add in the ½ tablespoon oil, shallots and garlic. Fry until lightly fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Crank the heat up to high and add in the ground pork, breaking it up into small pieces. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink.
- Add in chicken boullion powder, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and white pepper. Mix to incorporate everything together. Turn off the heat and transfer the meat to a bowl.
Cook the noodles:
- Heat a large pot of water and let it come to a boil. Add in the egg noodles and cook according to package directions, about 2-3 minutes, or until al dente. Pour the noodles into a colander and rinse under cold water.
Assemble:
- Drain noodles and portion into serving bowls.
- Top the noodles with the 2-3 heaping tablespoons of the warm ground pork mixture, sliced BBQ pork (char siu), wontons, veggies (yu choy or gai lan), green onions, pickled chilies (optional), and fried onion flakes. Mix the bowl thoroughly and serve immediately.
