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.
