Tofu banh mi (i.imgur.com)

Based mostly on the serious eats recipe. We added siracha to the Mayo, and smashed avacado to the toasted bun.

I also don’t think the marinade needs to go on the tofu much before grilling. Just a quick rub to get the color for grilling. Then I spread a layer of the marinade on the bun.

Portland pub bun. Game changer.

It was incredible. I’ve made it 2 nights in a row, and I’m about to make more marinade so I can make it another 2!

looks awesome! I have this broth powder I got at the asian mart that's basically lazy person vegan pho broth, it has salt msg and all the pho spices. anyway I have rubbed and baked tofu in that and used it in "banh mi" style sandwiches and sliders and its really great. pickled veg, cilantro vegan mayo and the tofu. I remember this youtuber the viet vegan was experimenting with making a paté like commonly found on trad banh mi using sunflowers and I think that would be cool to try. I really want to try getting good at making the french rolls too

Making the bread is the grail, but every time I do it it doesn’t quite turn out right. It’s good that first day, but it always gets too tough by the second or third day.

I’ll have to try some of that instant broth. Ever since discovering the roasted garlic better than bullion, I don’t use anything else for broth. But I’m in the camp that can never get enough garlic.

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.
