1/3 cup vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 red chili pepper seeded and sliced in half
1 bay leaf
1.
Place the mushrooms and bell peppers in a microwave-safe bowl (4 liter or 4 quart).
2.
In a separate bowl, place all the marinade ingredients and mix well until the sugar completely dissolves. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms.
3.
Cover with a vented microwave lid. Cook on HIGH (1200W) for 8 – 10 minutes.

Take out and mix. Let stand 10 – 12 minutes. Remove the bay leave and serve.
* When using plastic wrap for a lid, poke a hole in the center to release the steam.
* Mushrooms are high in vitamin D, which enhances building bone cells and they are low in calories. <Marinated Mushrooms> can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Why not make double the amount and store them?
