Method
Finely chop the coriander root and crush 6 of the garlic cloves; thinly slice the remaining garlic cloves.
In a bowl, toss the mushrooms with the crushed garlic, coriander root, half the white pepper and the light soy sauce, and leave to stand for 10 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.
Add the marinated mushrooms to the garlic oil and stir-fry for 5 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
Add the vegetarian oyster sauce, sugar and remaining white pepper, and toss for 3 minutes until the mushrooms are glossy and well coated.
Transfer to a serving plate and scatter over the crispy garlic and fresh coriander.
