The Method

1
In a large pot, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), Shaoxing rice wine (if using), ginger, and garlic. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2
While the broth simmers, cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
3
Add the gai lan to the simmering broth and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
4
Add the sliced char siu pork to the broth and heat through for about 1 minute.
5
Divide the cooked egg noodles among four bowls. Ladle the broth, gai lan, and char siu pork over the noodles.
6
Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with white pepper and green onions. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

Adjust the amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce to your preference. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

For a spicier soup, add a dash of chili oil or a pinch of red pepper flakes.

You can use other types of Chinese greens instead of gai lan, such as bok choy or choy sum.

If using dried egg noodles, be sure to cook them al dente, as they will continue to soften in the broth.
