    Add 5 tbsp cold water, mix, then knead on a floured surface for 3 minutes. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes.

  3. 3.

    Soak the mushrooms in lukewarm water for about 30 minutes for the tofu mixture.

    Meanwhile slice bamboo shoots into fine strips. Trim spring onions; cut the white part into thin rings, set aside covered; cut the green part into 2 cm pieces. Remove outer leaves and stem from napa cabbage, then slice finely.

    Knead the dough again for 3 minutes, then roll into a 3 cm diameter log.

    Fold two pieces together on their oiled sides and roll out into circles 21 cm in diameter.

    Heat a pan over medium heat, brush with a little oil, place a double pancake in the pan and fry each side for 45 seconds until lightly browned.

  9. 9.

    Remove and separate pancakes; wrap in a dry kitchen towel. Repeat with remaining dough.

    Squeeze mushrooms to remove excess liquid and cut into very fine strips. Beat eggs in a small bowl. Slice tofu into strips.

    Heat remaining oil in a wok over high heat. Pour in eggs, stir, then lift with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

    Just before serving, wrap pancakes in a damp kitchen towel and steam them for 5 minutes over boiling water. Then unwrap and fill each pancake with some hoisin sauce, onion rings, and the tofu mixture. Serve savory vegetarian stuffed pancakes.
