Pat the flounder fillets dry with paper towels. Season lightly with white pepper and then dredge lightly in cornstarch, shaking off any excess.
Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, and water. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Carefully place the flounder fillets in the hot oil.
Pan-fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fish from the pan and set aside on a serving plate.
In the same pan (drain excess oil if necessary), add minced garlic and shredded ginger. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Pour in the prepared sauce mixture. Bring to a simmer until it slightly thickens. Remove from heat.
Drizzle the garlic soy sauce over the pan-fried flounder fillets. Garnish with chopped spring onions. Serve immediately with hot steamed rice.
