If you love mushrooms this recipe will not disappoint you. These baby portabella mushrooms are cooked in a Filipino-style Adobo Sauce that will make your taste buds dance with happiness!

A few days ago my daughter shared this delightful Chicken Adobo Filipino-style Recipe with me. I made it a few times and every time I made it the aroma in the house was amazing. We have two vegetarians in my household that were so drawn to the smell. As I was enjoying this adobo chicken, I decided it was really worth it to share those flavors with them as well. So I thought I just needed to substitute the meat part with a vegetable and what a better choice then Mushrooms!

Ingredients for this Mushroom in Adobo Sauce (Filipino-style)

Mushrooms
Onion
Garlic
Soy sauce
Rice Vinegar
Balsamic Vinegar (optional)
Brown sugar
Olive oil

How to make Mushroom in Adobo sauce (Filipino-style)

The first step is to clean the mushroom using a wet paper towel to remove dirt. Then, cut the stems from the mushrooms and dice them to your preferred size. I cut a few of them and those that were the small size I kept them like that.

The next step is to season the mushrooms with black pepper. Then, in a pot over medium-high heat add oil and place the mushrooms and stir to combine. Cook for about 2 minutes.

Add onion and garlic and stir to combine. Next, add peppercorn. You can add the whole peppercorns or crushed them.

Then, add the rice vinegar, soy sauce and balsamic vinegar (this one is optional).

Add brown sugar and let it cook for about 10 to 15 minutes until mushrooms are soft and the sauce thickens.

I like to pair this Mushroom Adobo over fluffy white rice and serve with some cucumbers at the side.
