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.
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.

MODERATORS
which is called that? Are they all considered "kimbap" because they lack fish? Or what is the distinction?
Rolls without fish - kimbap
Perfect! Thanks for the info
Stunning! What a good idea to make them with friends.
Looks great! What’s the one on the upper right?
The “SPAM” musubi. I make a seitan/tofurkey loaf that is flavored like ham. Then I shape the loaf like spam. Slice thin, marinade in teriyaki, and bake/pan fry to get some glazed goodness on it. The it sits on top a block it rice, wrapped with a little ribbon of nori.
Well that sounds amazing. Do you do house calls?
Do you hear the walls
Um, amazing! Thanks for the info!
What are all the fillings? I made veggie sushi for the first time just last week and I'm looking for ideas.
I went with frozen tofu that I did my best to marinate as fishy as possible (still working on that one), avocado, cucumber, carrot. The tofu was supposed be the main star, but it was a little underwhelming. Gonna try carrot lax type of thing next time. I mean it's good with just veggies because the main thing to me apparently is just the nori, rice, soy sauce and wasabi, but a little variety never hurt.
Top left (my fav) - Tofu California roll Use about half of the suggested mayo or it is just a mayo roll.
Top right- "SPAM" musubi - see my other comment.
Middle left - vegan Philly roll - Plant based cream cheese- we finally found the Philadelphia brand here, and it's SO good. Add avocado and cucumber.
Middle right- NA
Bottom left - spicy "toona" roll. This one is crazy good. We topped it with a jalapeno slice and some siracha mayo.
Bottom right - marinated miso tofu roll. Just fried up some long sticks of firm tofu and added some miso paste disolved in soy/water. Cook those in a pan until the miso coats the tofu and crisps up a bit. Then roll with carrot, avocado, and cucumber. Top with sesame seeds for flair. This was a bit boring, but overall pretty darn good.
Thank you for replying! Need to try a bunch of these.
How much work was it? Sushi is something that the people I'm around with say isn't worth the effort, due the supposed effort required to birth them. I wonder what your insight on it is.
Not really, we used to make sushi pretty regularly, it's well under an hour of work. The sharper your knife is, the faster it goes.
It’s not more work than a regular meal. It would depend heavily on how good you are at making rice, and rolling (burritos, blunts, etc). If you make the same style, you could make it damn quick, because most of it is just uncooked.
We made a whole night of it. Made miso soup, I had a big fry pot going and we were making tempura out of everything.
It’s a bit of a pain in the ass, because all the leftovers are great, except the rice. So no matter what, you gotta make new rice each day. But since there’s no raw fish, you can eat it multiple times without worrying about it too much.
