Step 1: Squeeze excess water from mushrooms and discard stems and chop rest finely and put all the filling ingredients in a big bowl and mix well - Dim sum chefs tend to stir the mixture in one direction 20 times.
Step 2: Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes to marinate and set.
Step 3: To make the dumplings, place a teaspoon of filling in the centre of each wonton wrapper and then bring up the sides and gently squeeze to hold the filling.
Step 4: Smooth the filling on top with a knife and tap bottom gently on work bench so that it will stand upright in the steaming process.
Step 5: Add a pinch of carrot on top of the filling and set aside.
Step 6: To cook the dumplings, line a bamboo steamer with non-stick paper and make a few tiny slits for steam to rise through.
Step 7: Alternatively brush steamer lightly with oil.
Step 8: Steam dumpling in batches, for 8 to 10 minutes or until cooked through and serve at once.
