Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups canned young jackfruit
- 1 cup cremini mushrooms
- 1 large onion
- 4 medium garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.5 cup coconut vinegar
- 2 leaves bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned young jackfruit. Shred the jackfruit with your hands to mimic pulled pork pieces.
Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms thinly.
Peel and thinly slice the onion. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the jackfruit and mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they begin to brown.
Stir in the soy sauce, coconut vinegar, bay leaves, whole black peppercorns, coconut sugar, and water.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Remove the bay leaves. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary.
Chop the green onions into small pieces and use them as a garnish on the adobo before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice or any side of choice.
