Shiitake mushroom adobo

The key flavours of Filipino adobo are garlic, vinegar, black pepper, soy sauce and bay leaf. I grew up on chicken adobo. This mushroom version is delicious and simple. Traditionally, adobo is served with white rice – but some of my Filipino aunties (my titas) will tell you that they have adopted quinoa later in life and love it as much as rice.
