Soak wood ear mushrooms in water until soft, then chop.
Combine the wood ear mushrooms with the remaining mushrooms, spring onions, rocket, pea shoots, root ginger, prawns, minced pork, egg, soy sauce, cooking wine, sesame oil and salt. Mix well.
Spoon the filling mixture into the centre of each dumpling wrap. Wet the edges and press together to seal.
Heat a little oil in the bottom of a pan over medium heat. Carefully add the dumplings to the pan and brown slightly for about 2 minutes. Pour in half a bowl of water - enough to cover the bottom half of the dumplings.
Cover with a lid and cook gently for 5 minutes. When the water is almost evaporated, remove the lid and cook over medium heat until all the water has evaporated and the bottom of the dumplings become crispy.
