2. Knead until it forms a dough ball, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise for 15 minutes. In the summer you can just do this at room temperature; in the winter, use the dough rising setting of your oven. Make the filling while the dough rises.
3. Chop up the bamboo shoot, rehydrated shiitake mushrooms and green onion. Grate the ginger. Combine them all the the ground pork.
4. Add the flavoring ingredients, and mix well with a spoon. The filling shouldn't get sticky, so use a spoon rather than your hands.
