Preparation
  1. Soak dried shiitake mushrooms in hot water for about 20-30 minutes or overnight until tender. Finely dice the mushrooms and set aside.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium-low heat. Sauté ginger and diced carrot for 1 minute.
  3. Add the diced shiitake mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until everything is cooked through.
  4. Stir in Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, and vegetarian oyster sauce. Cook for 2 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
  5. Fold in chopped scallions and let the filling cool completely.
  6. Blanch cilantro stems in boiling water for 5-10 seconds. Roll out each wrapper to 4 inches in diameter.
  7. Place 1 tablespoon of cooled filling in the center of each wrapper. Pinch the edges to seal and tie with a cilantro stem.
  8. Set up a bamboo steamer lined with parchment paper. Steam dumplings for about 3 minutes until shiny and tender.
  9. Serve warm with soy sauce or a tangy dipping sauce.
