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.

MODERATORS

8 ounces noodles (such as spaghetti, linguine, or any Asian-style noodles)

1/4 cup smooth natural peanut butter

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sugar (adjust to taste)

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for heat)

1/4 cup warm water (to thin the sauce)

Fresh vegetables (like bell peppers, carrots, cucumber, green onions), sliced or julienned

Crushed peanuts, for garnish

Fresh cilantro or lime wedges, for garnish (optional)

Cook the Noodles: Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside. If using pasta, you might want to rinse it under cold water to prevent sticking.

Make the Peanut Butter Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey or sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes (if using). Gradually add the warm water while stirring, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

Combine Noodles and Sauce: Toss the noodles with the peanut butter sauce. Make sure all the noodles are well coated.

Add Vegetables: Add your sliced or julienned vegetables to the noodles and toss again to combine.

Garnish and Serve: Serve the noodles garnished with crushed peanuts, and if desired, fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice
