Red curry (jarred paste), coconut milk, with tofu and an assortment of frozen veg.
Mixed bag of frozen veg is the goat. Saves so much time.

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. Grown Ups Only.
Cooking for our kids is great, Acting like one is not. While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult and act like one. Please follow the Anarchists Code of Conduct. No profane usernames allowed.

Fact!
Honestly been looking to go more vegetarian/vegan and my old curry recipe used to use chicken.I really SHOULD just use tofu. What firmness of tofu?
Extra firm is probably best, you can press it further as well. I usually think of tofu as a paneer substitute than a meat substitute but if you press it or buy extra firm and rip it with your hands then fry it then it tastes really good, like how Richa does it in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWohdoamOZE
I find mushrooms a good replacement too
I encourage mushrooms as additional to a meat replacement like tofu, seitan, or tempeh. Otherwise you might not get enough protein. It depends on the mushroom, but assuming it's button mushrooms, they won't give you similar amounts of protein as meat (whereas wine caps have more protein per gram than beef, but I've never seen them at the store, you have to grow those yourself).
Looks amazing AP! Am guest need slop
Road trip to AP's! We can all bring goodies and eat delicious slop until our bellies are full and do drugs until our brains are empty!
everyone was arrested before the border
Please don't make me break you guys out of jail, that probably won't go over too well with the Mister. He'd rather I didn't actually fight cops 🤷🏻♀️
Glad I've got curry ingredients lined up for tomorrow* (and food in the oven right now), this has given me a craving.
*Very similar recipe - tinned vegetables instead of frozen, and frozen chicken substitute instead of tofu. I don't even cook it in a pan, but mix up a portion on a plate and bung that in the oven on a low heat to cook, then plop some microwave rice on top. You're doing great.
How on earth was what I wrote here "not vegan"?? 🤦♀️🤦♂️
I'm sorry. I read frozen chicken. I will be more careful.
Easily done, you're good 😊
We're humans and a lot of people suggest actual chicken
Fair enough, no worries, I was just really confused. 😂
(E: I was worried maybe mentioning substitutes named after meats wasn't allowed or something a little extreme like that 😬)
What we don't really like and may be extreme is not mentioning actual brands but saying substitute or TVP is fine. The only reason we're against brand names and trademarks is that we don't want to become r/vegan like where the entire message board becomes brand recommendations and viral marketing instead of actual show and tell. I know we're super small and its really far away from happening but that is the anarchist bent.
That seems perfectly reasonable tbh. Glad we cleared this up. 👍
Finer than anything I’d make.
