Steps:

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Remove the stems from the Shiitake Mushrooms and rinse them.

When the water is boiling add the glass noodles and cook 1 minute. Remove the noodles with a slotted spoon and strain.
Add the mushrooms to the boiling water and blanch 2 minutes. Drain.
Using a paring knife score each mushroom with a criss cross pattern on the under side of the mushroom. Do not slice all the way through
Brush the mushrooms with the oyster sauce. Take a small amount of glass noodles forming it into a nest and place on top of each mushroom.
Heat the oil in a saucepan until shimmering. Pour about 1 tbsp. of the oil over the garlic and chilles and set the rest back on the stove.
Add the soy sauce, hot water and sugar to the garlic chilies mixture. Stir until combined and spoon over the top of the noodles on each mushroom.
Heat up the oil again and pour over each mushroom. Garnish with the cilantro
