Adobo is a Filipino chicken or pork dish braised in a sweet-and-sour vinegar sauce. These vegetables are inspired by those flavors, roasted and then cooked in a mixture of rice vinegar, soy sauce, lime juice, and lots of black pepper and garlic.

2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons brown sugar
