Veganism is super cool and if you're vegan you'll be cool too doggirl-thumbsup

Also, it's easier than people think, as long as you cook for yourself. It can be more difficult if you rely on eating out or prepared food a lot, but it is still very doable.

Yooo I wanna be cool! Are there any starter resources you would recommend? I cook for myself predominantly

[โ€“] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I don't have recipes for you or anything, but heads up. When I switched to being vegan I farted like a lot. So much I thought something was wrong lol. Nope, it's from the extra dietary fibre, happens to a lot of people. You'll adjust eventually.

Oh wonderful, that's good to know. Thanks :)

  • Here are some youtube channels with good recipes: https://www.youtube.com/@PickUpLimes https://www.youtube.com/@RainbowPlantLife (check out her video on how to make crispy tofu) https://www.youtube.com/@thenarddogcooks (I don't use this one personally but he seems good) https://www.youtube.com/@YEUNGMANCOOKING/ Aaron and Claire, and Chinese Cooking Demystified and both good channels with lots of easy recipes to make vegan, but few totally vegan recipes.

  • Vegan diets are great at getting most types of nutrition. The only major exceptions are omegas and b12. There are plenty of vegan ways to get both, but they might not be things you eat every day. And you want to get those every day. Especially b12.

  • I still eat bivalves because they don't have central nervous systems. So if you have oyster sauce in your fridge feel free to keep it there.

  • Asian food is much easier to make vegan than western food. Western food is typically 1 part hunk of animal product, 1 part carb, 1 part veggie. In East Asian cooking meat is typically used to season a dish rather than be the dish. The core of most Asian dishes are rice/noodles, veggies, and a small amount of meat or tofu.

  • Umami seasonings! Buy gochujang. Also buy chinese black bean sauce. Better than boullion or Asian mushroom boulion powder are good too. Lee Kum Kee is a reliable and omnipresent brand in Asian cooking.

  • If you put love and attention into your Vegan cooking it will taste better than haphazard omni cooking. And, in time, even your haphazard cooking will. The food I make is incredibly rich and flavorful.

  • This brand of toasted sesame oil. If you can afford it it will elevate your dishes immensely.

  • Meat often adds a lot of salt and fat to dishes. Replace the salt and fat with something else and you're golden. Omnis typically put a ton of salt onto meat without thinking about it, even if the meat itself is unsalted. So replacing the meat with more veggies or something will make the meal seem underseasoned overall.

let me know if you have any questions this doesn't answer.

Omg this is amazing. Thank you so much for the detailed reply. You have me very exited to start figuring this out. I will certainly let you know if I have questions since it seems like you really know what you're doing.

I prefer Asian food to western food any day of the week
