Vegan Home Cooks
- In the middle of the night I made dal and chapatis.
I made a quick dough with whole wheat floud, salt and water and rolled them out on my chakla and cooked them on the griddle. I didn't let it sit long enough so they didn't puff up as much as I wanted lol
The soup is just 1/2 cup red masoor, left over tomatoes and chilis, ginger paste and home made "curry" masala mix.
- Fried rice with leftover veggies
I improvised a wood fired stove with bricks to achieve 'wok hei' (wok breath) and fortunately it worked! You can see the charring on the veggies and rice, it's really delicious
- Mapo Tofu Sichuan style
This was my second try at this dish. It's incredible how yummy the doubanjian and how fragrant the Sichuan peppers are.
- Chickpeas, vegetables and rice
I soaked chickpeas over night and pressure cooked them til soft then drained, added back to the instant pot and just simmered with the rest of the veg in my refrigerator before I went shopping today. I added Indian inspired spices and served with rice.

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 hobbies 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.
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 a place for vegan home cooks. We all eat at restaurants but this is what literally every vegan space is about so post pics of your food orders somewhere else, we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants
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 like to figure out alternatives to expensive corporate products. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever shitty business brands it, 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 make any unasked for suggestions.
Sometimes we do like to hear suggestions or ideas but you should be nice about it and preferably know the person you are making suggestions for. We all 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.
7. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)
We are not food bloggers and are not compensated for copy-editing and testing recipes for you. Do your own research and show us what you learned. If you want ideas or help reach out with a comment or better yet join the discord and talk to us about it in real time. We’re cooking and bullshitting there.

- Tofu saag with rice and tomato cucumber salad
I pressure cooked all the greens I had before htey went bad so it was a bunch of bok choy, spinach and cilantro for 0 minutes until cooked down, then i simmered with home made curry seasoning, ginger paste and tofu. I made basmati rice and salad to go with it.
- tamarind cauliflower and fried rice
I used unsweetened tamarind concentrate with a bit of water a the sauce, so the cauliflower was a bit tart, but overall very good!

- Help me veganize this "ancient" German nudel salat (spaghetti salad)
I want to veganize this wet salad recipe.
- Probably gonna replace the spaghetti with beans, at least once I've done a test run.
- I'd like to partially or completely replace the mayo with something less fatty, maybe cashew? Hopefully some black Himalaya salt can emulate the egg flavor. ------------
- 500g (17.5oz) spaghetti (dry weight)
- 600-700g (21-25oz) smoked sausage (about 1/3" pieces?) - Seitan w/liquid smoke, probably.
- 5-7 hard boiled eggs (diced/chopped or mashed even) - nothing I guess
- 3 apples (chopped)
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 300-350g (10.5-12.5oz) mayonnaise - I figure using a cashew based cream I can replace both mayo and egg at once. Might add some mayo or oil if the salad needs fat.
- 500-600g (17.5-21oz) pickled cucumber (vinegar, not brine - chopped)
Stir in some milk if the salad starts getting dry.
--------- I'd love some instructions on the mayo/egg replacement, as well as the smoked sausage, to make sure the chances of success are as high as possible on the first try.
- Steamed tofu and veggies with white rice and home made brown sauce
I had to go away for the weekend so I cut up my remaining vegetables and steamed it with tofu until it was how I like it then ate it with white rice and home made brown sauce made from soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, water, five spice and corn starch
- Pressure steamed potatoes
Steamed in the PC with 1 cup of water for 15 minutes. Refrigerate overnight. Resistant starch is magical.
