Fill a small bowl with hot water, and put the mushrooms in, until soft. Remove, gently squeeze out excess water, , put aside water for later use. Julienne the mushrooms.

Heat the sesame oil in a wok. Toss in the pea pods, mushrooms, carrots, cabbage, shrimp , mushroom water and Argyle Street. Stir fry just until sweating. Remove from heat, stir in the green onion and cilantro. Place in a colander to drain and cool.

Fill a large bowl with hot water. Dip a wrap in the water for 1 second. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of filling near one edge of the wrap. Roll once, then tuck in the sides, then finish rolling. Just like a burrito. Serve with Chinese Five Spice Dipping Sauce.

Helpful Hints

This dish cooks very fast, have all your ingredients ready to go. I recommend using a wok.

If the wraps don't want to stay together, you can use a water/corn starch slurry to glue them .
