Filipino Adobo Mushrooms over Rice

Ingredients

• 1 lb King Oyster Mushrooms
• ⅓ cup Soy Sauce
• ¼ cup White Vinegar
• 8 cloves Garlic
• 3 whole Bay Leaves
• 1 tsp Whole Black Peppercorns
• 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
• ½ cup Vegetable Broth
• 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
• 2 cups Jasmine Rice
• 3 whole Green Onions

Instructions

1. Cook jasmine rice according to package directions.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear mushroom rounds 2–3 minutes per side until deeply golden. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, combine soy sauce, vinegar, vegetable broth, smashed garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer.
4. Return mushrooms to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and braise 12–15 minutes, turning once, until mushrooms are tender and sauce has reduced by half.
5. Remove bay leaves. Serve mushrooms and sauce over jasmine rice, topped with sliced green onions.
