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.

If you're willing to share this recipe, I'd be very happy

sure!

the mushroom topping is chopped oyster mushroom, sauteed until quite brown and slightly crispy, to which i added the sliced whites of six scallions until softened, and about a tablespoon each of yellow miso and bean sauce (chile bean sauce/paste/doubanjiang if you want spice, but as my meal plan includes a pre-schooler i used a bean sauce without chiles and added chile oil to the finished soup).

the tare was two tablespoons of shiitake mushroom powder, between a third and a half cup of sesame paste, a generous tablespoon of yellow miso, a standard tablespoon of dark soy sauce, and as much grated garlic and ginger as i thought my family would tolerate, which amounted to about 4 garlic cloves and a half thumb of ginger. i added it all to a sautee pan thinned out with some sesame oil and a bit of coconut sugar and warmed just enough to melt the sugar, hydrate the mushroom powder, and mellow out the raw garlic/ginger flavors.

when ready to put together, its just broth (tare + soymilk), noodles, mushrooms, cucumber, and scallion greens. you can either mix the broth per bowl or do it all together. there is a local tofu company near me that makes a soymilk (labeled soybean juice) which is more savory in flavor that lends well to the broth, but any soymilk would be fine. the picture was slightly paler than i would have liked, so make sure to taste until its where you like it. for the amount i made it would be about 1.5 litres. if youre cool with msg that would make a good addition to the broth as well.

Woah! This looks incredible. This is like a walnut, sesame, miso soup right?

[–] yum_burnt_toast@reddthat.com 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

yea pretty much! it is a japanese version of dan dan noodles but with a sesame-heavy broth. there is a great local tofu producer near me which sells soy milk that definitely has a savory almost funkiness, and i use that to thin out a fairly strong paste of miso, sesame paste, dark soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. a nice make ahead dish for a hot day!

this is reminding me of a ramen recipe I made recently: https://www.justonecookbook.com/vegetarian-ramen/
