Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or a clean cloth. Slice them into even pieces if they are large; keep them whole if they are small.
In a small mixing bowl, make the sauce by combining soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Stir until fully mixed and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and stir-fry for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms to the pan and stir-fry for 4–5 minutes, or until they release their moisture and start to brown slightly.
Pour the prepared sauce over the mushrooms and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Sprinkle the sliced green onions and optional white pepper over the mushrooms, tossing to combine.
Serve immediately as a side dish or over steamed rice as a light main dish.
