Method
Finely chop the coriander root and crush 6 of the garlic cloves; thinly slice the remaining garlic cloves.
In a bowl, combine the prawns, crushed garlic, coriander root, half the white pepper and the light soy sauce, and leave to marinate for 15 minutes while you prepare the rest of the dish.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over medium heat and fry the sliced garlic for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden and crisp, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel.
Increase the heat to high and add the marinated prawns to the garlic oil; stir-fry for 4 minutes, turning once, until pink and opaque throughout, reaching 63°C on a meat thermometer.
Add the oyster sauce, sugar and remaining white pepper, and toss for 3 minutes until the prawns are glossy and well coated.
Transfer to a serving plate and scatter over the crispy garlic and fresh coriander.
