Prepare the sauce by mixing 2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of kicap manis, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil in a bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of oil to a hot wok and then add 2 cloves of roughly chopped garlic to infuse the oil.

In the same wok, add water and bring it to a boil.

Add the stems of the choy sum first, cooking for 20 seconds before adding the leafy parts.

Blanch the choy sum in hot water until the color changes to a darker green, then remove and set aside.

Cook the fresh egg noodles in boiling water for 2 minutes.

While the noodles are cooking, prepare the sauce by adding salt, sugar, and 1 tablespoon of water to the sauce mixture.

Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and add them to the sauce in the wok, stirring to combine.

Plate the noodles and top with the blanched choy sum and char siew.
