Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, and cornstarch. Mix well to create a marinade.
Pour the marinade over the prawns and let them marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 20-30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the marinated prawns to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to turn pink.
Sprinkle the ground white pepper evenly over the prawns and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the prawns are fully cooked and coated in the sauce.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over the prawns if needed for extra sheen and flavor.
Transfer the cooked prawns to a serving plate and garnish with sliced scallions and red chili if desired.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or as a standalone dish.
