To make the pancakes make a well in the flour and add water. Stir to combine. Form the dough into a ball and knead until smooth. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. 

Roll the dough into a 12 inch log and cut into 12 pieces. With hands shape into 2 inch rounds. Brush the top of each round with sesame oil. Lay one round on top of the other oil sides together to make 6 pancakes.

With a rolling pan flatten each round into a 7 inch circle. Cook in an ungreased pan flipping them over until they start to bubble and brown slightly.

When the pancake comes out of the oil find a seam and separate into two pancakes. Stack and wrap in foil to keep warm.

Mix all the ingredients for the sauce together stirring to incorporate the cornstarch. Set aside.

To make filing mix soy sauce, sherry, white pepper, and cornstarch together. Add pork and stir to coat well. Let marinate 15 minutes.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in wok or large skillet. Fry the eggs into a large pancake. Remove and cut into strips.

Add another tablespoon oil to wok and cook pork until brown. Remove from wok.

Add remaining oil to wok and cook garlic and ginger until fragrant about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms, bamboo shoots, green onions, and bean sprouts. Cook for a minute or two.

Add cabbage and cook to wilt. Add pork back in to wok and heat through. Push meat and vegetables to side.

Add sauce ingredients and cook until boiling. Cook a couple of minutes or until sauce thickens.

Spread plum sauce on pancakes and add meat mixture. Fold up like a taco.

NOTES : Try to find the shitake or stir fry mushrooms if you can.
