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 took a package of tofu and froze it, then let it thaw, froze it again and let it that. This makes it extremely flakey. I then soaked it in brine a bit and cut into filet shaped wedges. Using a slurry of corn starch and water I glued nori sheets to it and then brushed it all over. I added sea salt and paprka as well.

I air fried these for a while until they became brown and flaky. I ate it with horseradish sauce not pictured.

Next time I'd use bigger nori sheets because they shrunk a but and maybe marinate the tofu differently, maybe in some konbu dashi

It looks great but the name "tofish" just doesn't sit right with me...

I read the title too quickly and read "toilet fish"

Why not? I didn't even come up with it there are a thousand recipe results for this same thing if you google it

[–] B0NK3RS 1 points 1 year ago

That wasn't a slight at you. I love the dish but to me it's an unappetising name.

That looks yum! I'll have to try this out sometime.

For your next marinade, maybe you could also try using shiitake dashi instead - since you're already using nori sheets, the konbu dahsi may make it a bit too seaweedy? Just a thought.

I had never thought to air fry "filets" of tofu. Trying this tonight, thank you!
