Come join the Vegan Home Cooks!

Participation is really easy, just take a picture of what you cooked today and post it, no recipes needed.


This is a public forum for a discord server of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families.

We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task.

This forum is not a "food porn" community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don't care about its instagram worthiness.

Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted.


Rules

1. Be Vegan.

If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere.

2. Post home cooking.

No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants.

3. Join the Discord

We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today.

4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique.

While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell.

5. Do not use trademarked brands

Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese.

6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)

We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we're excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn't required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it.

7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions.

Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do.

8. Adults Only.

While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult. If you have a gross and profane username you will be removed.

I put 2 cups rice with soy sauce, some sugar, and rice vinegar in my rice cooker then just laid some carrots, napa and mashed tofu mixed with salt, nooch and turmeric on top of the rice and pressed the button.

I ate this with steamed vegetables and 5 spice sauce and dumplings of which I forgot to take pictures of 🤷‍♀️

Never thought about making rice this way but have to give this a try this weekend. Great idea to simplify the process for days where you don't have a lot of time

Good luck! Yeah, I'm not trying to pretend this is official or anything, it is tasty food for after I work a 10 hour day lol

Looks yummy! In Japan this method is called takikomi-gohan (cook-together rice) and I think tofu and turmeric seems good combination. I recommend trying one with mushrooms (traditionally shimeji or shiitake but anything really) is also really good.

takikomi-gohan

Wow thanks! I didn't know any names for this and now I have lots of things to look up about it. I actually meant to put mushrooms in this and had some chopped up that didn't make it and I ended up putting into my other dish lol

This is a major innovation in vegan home cookery 🤯

What is napa? When searching all I get is a city in California

[–] hamid@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)
