Clean and Prepare Mushrooms
Wash the mushrooms thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove the stems and slice the mushroom caps into even-sized pieces.
Coat Mushrooms in Cornstarch
Place the sliced mushrooms in a bowl. Add cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat the mushrooms evenly.
Cook the Mushrooms
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the coated mushrooms in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove the cooked mushrooms and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Make the Black Pepper Sauce
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and dried chili flakes. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
Pour in soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using). Stir to combine.
Add a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors.
Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
Combine Mushrooms and Sauce
Return the cooked mushrooms to the skillet with the black pepper sauce. Toss gently to coat the mushrooms evenly in the sauce.

For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine or Shaoxing wine to the sauce.
