Mushroom Adobo
This Mushroom Adobo is a vegan and vegetarian version of our very own classic dish, adobo. The dish features mushroom slices with a tangy and savory sauce from soy sauce, vinegar, onion, garlic, and peppercorn.
Equipment
1 skillet
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 small onion
- 1 pound mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- ½ teaspoon peppercorns ground
- 1 stalk green onion chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients before starting to cook for a smooth cooking process. Clean the mushrooms with a wet paper towel until clean through or all the dirt has been removed. Sliced them in your preferred bite-size slices. Smashed the garlic and chopped the onion.
- In a skillet over medium heat, pour and heat about 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Cook the minced garlic and chopped onion until aromatic, occasionally stirring to avoid burning the garlic.
- Add the prepared mushrooms, soy sauce, and ground peppercorn. Stir and simmer in low-medium heat until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
- Pour the vinegar, leave it undisturbed, and let it cook for 1 minute, then stir to blend all the ingredients together. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce and vinegar if needed. Sprinkle chopped green onions. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Recipe Notes:
- Use a variety of mushrooms when you can. Different types of mushrooms have different sizes, textures, and flavors. Using a variety of mushrooms can add depth and complexity to the dish. You could use a mix of shitake, oyster, and button mushrooms.
- You can marinate the mushrooms for about 10 minutes up to overnight with soy sauce, vinegar, and ground peppercorn to infuse all the flavor of the sauce. You can leave it on the countertop or refrigerator while marinating.
- While you can marinate them to infuse the flavors, leftovers do the same trick since the cooked mushrooms soak all the savory sauce flavors while sitting in the fridge.
- Browned the mushrooms while sauteeing them to help deepen their flavors and nice texture.
- Let the mushrooms simmer in low heat to cook slowly and ensure that the mushrooms are tender and absorb the sauce.
