(This water can be incorporated into the recipe you are making and can add a lot of flavor to your dish. Strain it if you wish to use). Squeeze out excess water, slice mushrooms up to the stem on all sides and discard the stem since it is usually too tough to eat.To quickly cook the finely chopped carrots, put the carrots in the bowl with some water. Then, put in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes. Set aside for garnish later.To make the wontons, mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
