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. Grown Ups Only.

Cooking for our kids is great, Acting like one is not. While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult and act like one. Please follow the Anarchists Code of Conduct. No profane usernames allowed.

Unbelievable pain to make so I don’t do it often, but these salad rolls were pretty great

when we made salad burritos (wraps?) as a child we would dice all of the vegetables like it's pico de gallo. maybe that'll help the next time you make them?

That’s a good idea, cuz doing it the long slices style with trying to lay out the rice noodles and keep the wrap from tangling all over the place was incredibly frustrating 😅😅😅 Your way sounds much better 🙏🙏

it's not my idea; i just copied and pasted it from generations of impoverished mexican-americans who couldn't afford bread or beef for their families.

Please explain for a dummy, what kind of material is it?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

It's rice paper. Similar texture to mochi, but a very thin wrapper

It looks tasty.

I don't find it too hard , what I do is to put the rice paper in big frying pan with warm water , just enough that is starts to soften . drape it onto a big plate so it will stick to the plate.

Then place the filling in the middle and lift one corner from the plate and fold over. Repeat with the other corners , the rice paper will stick to itself to seal the thing.

Bonus: briefly fry the whole thing on all sides

Vegan HR Geiger vibes, but I'd eat it.

Maybe serve it on a butterfly platter.

Looks tasty.
