Mushroom Tapa Recipe

Combine soy sauce, ¼ cup water, sugar, calamansi juice, garlic, and pepper in a large bowl. Add mushrooms and mix. Set aside and allow to marinate for 5 to 10 minutes.

Warm 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drain mushroom tapa; reserve marinade. Cook mushrooms in batches until deep brown on both sides, stirring occasionally to allow sugar to caramelize. Transfer mushrooms to a serving dish.

Add reserved marinade to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Pour marinade over mushrooms.

Top tapa with fried garlic bits. Serve with garlic rice and sliced tomatoes.
