📝 Preparation Steps
1
Adobo Sauce
2
Cook brown sugar, undisturbed, in a small saucepan over medium heat until melted and a shade darker, about ⏱️ 2 minutes (don’t walk away, it can burn quickly). Pour in vinegar, tamari, and ½ cup water, stirring and scraping up solidified sugar on bottom of pan with a wood spoon, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, add garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and salt, and simmer ⏱️ 15 minutes to infuse.

Strain sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl; discard solids. Return sauce to pan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
4
Meanwhile, stir together cornstarch and 2 Tbsp. cold water in a small bowl until smooth and lump-free.
5
Whisk cornstarch slurry into sauce, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, whisking often, until sauce thickens slightly, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Keep warm.

Mushrooms and assembly
7
Mix mushroom bouillon powder, pepper, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a small bowl to combine. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium. Working in 2 batches and adding another 1 Tbsp. oil between batches if needed, cook mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about ⏱️ 4 minutes; transfer mushrooms to a plate as you go. Return all cooked mushrooms to skillet, sprinkle with mushroom bouillon powder mixture, and cook, tossing to incorporate, ⏱️ 30 seconds.
