Mix ground pork, shrimp, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and white pepper in a bowl until well combined.

Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and add a small spoonful of the filling in the center.

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it over to form a triangle, and seal tightly.

Bring the two corners of the triangle together to form a wonton shape and press to seal.

Repeat the process until all filling is used up.

Boil a pot of water and cook the egg noodles until al dente, about 3-4 minutes, then drain and set aside.

In the same pot, add the wontons and cook until they float, about 3-5 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon.

In a separate pot, heat chicken broth until simmering.

Add bok choy to the broth and cook until tender, about 2-3 minutes.

Divide the cooked noodles among serving bowls, top with wontons and bok choy.

Ladle hot broth over the noodles and garnish with additional green onions and chili oil if desired.
