WHAT IS THE OMNIVORE RICE RECIPE MENU

The One Community food infrastructure is designed to meet the needs of vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores. To meet these diverse nutritional needs and desires, food items were chosen that are a common ground between these three main groups. The items include fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, and starchy vegetables. The recipes will always feature at least one of these staple items to fulfill the caloric needs of that meal. On this page, brown rice will be the staple food for the recipes listed.

This page is specifically all about omnivore rice recipes. If you are looking for vegan rice recipes, then you can check out the vegan rice recipes page.

WHY OPEN SOURCE AN OMNIVORE RICE MENU

Once we’ve finished this tutorial and open sourced all the updates, modifications/clarifications, and learnings from our experience building the 3-dome cluster as part of our crowdfunding campaign, we’ll further evolve it through building the complete Earthbag Village (Pod 1) and Duplicable City Center®, and then even more through building the other 6 villages. Our goal in doing all this is:

  • To provide menus and meals that can be of benefit to any group
  • To demonstrate and share the healthiest and most delicious choices we’ve come up with so far
  • To make the food production aspect of DIY sustainable building easier and more affordable for others

This rice-based menu is part of our plan to make it easier for others to implement a healthy, sustainable, and delicious food program into their projects. We’ve chosen to specifically open source rice menus and recipes because they’re affordable, high in calories and healthy carbohydrates, filling, easily digestible, and easy to integrate into a wide variety of dishes from around the world. Rice has been a staple food for many of the worlds largest cultures for thousands of years. Examples of dishes that contain rice are Thai red curry with rice, many types of sushi, rice pilaf, sweet cinnamon rice, rice pudding, rice milk, and pineapple tofu fried rice. As you can see, rice mixes well with just about anything.

OMNIVORE RECIPES

To address the dietary desires of vegans, each of these omnivore recipes have been chosen and designed as recipes that can easily be made without animal fats/proteins and/or by using tofu, tempeh, seitan, or other vegan additions.

NOTE: In these meal plans, exact measurements may not be followed and are offered as suggestions. Particulars will be decided by the chef and the community size. Duplication of meals will also be important to offer economies of scale when buying weekly meals as well as making food production easier.

FREQUENTLY ANSWERED QUESTIONS

Q: Is One Community going to be a vegetarian community?

The One Community team consists of vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores. In accordance with our philosophy for The Highest Good of All we are maintaining a non-idealogical approach to food choices. That said, also in accordance with this philosophy, we will only support and consume food items that are ethically and sustainably raised, managed, and produced. The consensus process will be used to decide the evolution of the One Community food plan.

Q: I'm vegetarian/vegan, would I have to participate in any part of the process or raising animals for food and/or eating/cooking them?

No, you would not have to participate in any aspect of One Community's food diversity that didn't agree with your personal beliefs and preferences.

Q: I'm an omnivore or vegan, what if I don't want to eat a vegan or omnivore diet?

The complete food self-sufficiency transition plan is designed to meet the needs of all dietary preferences through:

  1. Recipes that can be made vegan or omnivore:
    1. Vegan recipes were chosen that could easily have animal-based proteins added for omnivores
    2. Omnivore recipes were chosen that could easily be made with 100% vegan ingredients
  2. Alternating weeks of omnivore and vegan focused menus: The weeks are alternating so that we could design complete 1-week menus for each dietary preference to provide complete menus for both philosophies AND so that groups containing mixed preferences would have an equal way of focusing on each dietary preference for a week while still providing for the other preference as per #1 above. They alternate to address any concerns that recipes aren't as good when a vegan recipe is made omnivore just by adding animal protein, or an omnivore recipe is made vegan just by replacing all animal-based ingredients.

In this way all dietary preferences can be provided, any sacrifices are shared in alternating weeks, and groups completely preferring vegan or omnivore options have clear menus they can follow for both choices.

Q: How do you intend to produce spices, mill grain for flour, cooking oil, etc. etc.

To us, "100% food sustainability" means we will demonstrate and open source share a model that doesn't need external food sources. Having achieved this, what we produce internally versus choosing to buy will be decided through the consensus process.

Q: What is One Community's stance on pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides?

If it is not safe to eat, we will not be spraying it on our food. Here's a video we feel is helpful in understanding why:

Q: What if I want something that isn't on the community menu?

The community menu will be agreed upon through the consensus process. If a person wanted something not included on that menu, then they would be welcome to purchase and provide it for themselves.
