- In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and gently add the wantons. Cook until they float to the top, indicating they are ready. Drain and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Stir well to create a savory sauce.
- Divide the cooked egg noodles evenly among four bowls. Pour the sauce mixture over the noodles, ensuring they are well coated.
- Top each bowl with an equal amount of wantons and sliced char siu pork. Sprinkle with chopped spring onions for freshness.

Tips
- For added flavor, consider marinating the char siu pork in a mixture of soy sauce, honey, and five-spice powder before cooking.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the char siu pork with grilled tofu and use vegetable wantons.
- Experiment with different types of noodles, such as rice noodles or whole wheat noodles, for a unique twist.
