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.

Just want to do my part and spread the gospel of chilla, veggie pancakes, fritters, whatever you may call them. I'm sure a lot of versions exist for savory pancakes in a lot of regions but it's a top contender for a way to get a whole bunch of nutrition in each bite (aside from #1 of all time, soup, of course). I didn't have any red lentils and didn't feel like using moong dal so I've been soaking yellow split peas, which are a commonly found ingredient in the US (I got these from the food bank) and mixing them with shredded veg and spices for some awesome pancakes. there are almost limitless options for flavor profiles too. These have cumin, coriander, turmeric, msg, kashmiri chili, ginger, s&p and I sauteed shredded carrot, zucchini, cabbage, garlic and green onions. mix it in a bowl with the blended legume and chopped cilantro and black sesame seeds and fry up some cakes.

Seems like this would be a good contender to the protein pancakes I see at the store.

I have no idea what that is but, you're probably right. beans do have a lot of protein after all

oh hey it looks like 부침개(Bu-chim-geh) Korean-style pancakes

everything about your receipe sounds interesting/tasty(cept for cilantro), might try it later

[–] spicysoup 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

oh no are you one of those unfortunate enough to have cilantro taste like soap? it does look similar to those pancakes but the major difference is the batter is entirely made from legumes, so no flour. I'm not gluten free, I love gluten, but using moong dal or lentils or something could be a nice alternative for a gf pajeon or yachaejeon etc. even okonomiyaki too probably!

Looks great! Did you add any kind of rising agent like baking powder?

[–] spicysoup 0 points 11 months ago

nope, just legoomz! they're fairly dense but that's how I like them. when I make moong dal just egg copycat i have tried adding baking powder but I haven't really noticed a meaningful difference. but I usually use that for binding in other pancakes and baked dishes like quiche.
