Method
 

Dumpling Preparation
  1. Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms in hot water for 20-30 minutes until tender.
  2. In a large wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-low heat. Add minced ginger and diced carrots, sauté for 1 minute.
  3. Stir in rehydrated mushrooms and diced bamboo shoots. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until aromatic.
  4. Add Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, and vegetarian oyster sauce. Cook until mushrooms are tender and excess liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and fold in chopped scallions. Allow filling to cool completely.
  6. Prepare wrappers by rolling them out to about 4 inches in diameter. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center.
  7. Fold wrappers over the filling and pinch edges tightly to seal, using cilantro stems to tie the dumpling.
  8. Steam dumplings in a bamboo steamer for 3 minutes or pan-fry for a crispy finish.
