  3. Heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium-low heat, add minced ginger and diced carrots, sauté for about 1 minute.
  4. Raise heat, add diced mushrooms and bamboo shoots, stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Pour in Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, and vegetarian oyster sauce, cook for about 2 minutes until mostly evaporated.

  7. Blanch cilantro stems in boiling water for 10 seconds, transfer to cold water.
  8. Prepare wrappers about 4 inches in diameter, place about 1 tablespoon of filling in each.
