Method

Preheat the oven to 450˚F. Let the pork come to a room temperature. Place the pork on the rack of a roasting pan. Roast the pork for about 20 minutes. Turn over the pork, add about 4 to 5 Tbsp of water in the pan. Roast for another 20 minutes.

Remove the meat from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

For the Wonton Noodles: Bring water to a boil. Blanch some mustard greens for about 25 to 30 seconds. Remove and set aside. Then add the wonton into the boiling water, and a portion of egg noodles. Cook the noodles for about 40 to 50 seconds. Remove the noodles with a wire strainer, and plunge it into a bowl of cold water for a few seconds. Shake off any excess water, and return the noodles into the boiling water. Cook the noodles for another 20 but still al dente. Remove the noodles and shake off any excess water. Then remove the cooked wontons.

To serve the noodles: Place pork lard oil or shallot oil, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, white pepper, and some anchovy broth in a bowl. Toss in the noodles and mix well. Transfer the noodles into a bowl or plate and top with barbecued pork, wonton, mustard green, and sprinkle some scallions. Serve the noodles immediately with some anchovy broth and pickled green chilies.
