Cut king oyster mushrooms into 1cm cubes; seed and cut bell peppers into similar cubes; mince garlic and ginger.
In a small bowl, mix light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, sugar, cornstarch, and 3 tbsp water until dissolved.
Bring water to boil, blanch mushroom cubes for 1 minute with a pinch of salt, then drain.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in wok over medium heat, add mushrooms, turn to high, stir-fry about 3 minutes until golden brown and slightly charred; remove.
Add 1 tbsp oil, sauté garlic and ginger for 15 seconds; add peppers, stir-fry over high heat 2 minutes until just cooked.
Return mushrooms to wok, pour in sauce, stir-fry vigorously for about 30 seconds until sauce thickens and coats ingredients.
Turn off heat, drizzle sesame oil, toss, and serve. Garnish with scallions if desired.
Tips
Blanching then frying mushrooms ensures tender texture; prepare sauce beforehand; high heat is crucial for crispness.
