2.Finely chop the mushrooms. Heat remaining sesame oil in a non-stick 18cm (7½in) frying pan over high heat; cook the mushrooms and grated ginger, stirring, for 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the sauce mixture; season to taste. Cool.
3.Whisk flour and ⅓ cup (80ml) cold water in a small jug until well combined. Set aside.
4.Brush the edge of 1 wrapper lightly with water; place 2 teaspoons of the mushroom filling in the centre. Fold wrapper over to completely enclose filling; pinch to seal. Pleat the edge of wrapper; place on a board with the pleated edge on top. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
