Cook with Zing - Recipes & Kitchen Shortcuts

For his first mystery box recipe, Chef Kiran payed tribute to the classic Japanese comfort food: Katsu Curry. Sweet, spicy, crispy and rich, this one always hits the spot.

Although this was a challenge recipe, the outcome was a total knockout that we will be adding to our rotation! 

Let's admit it, chili crisp poutine is something you need in your life. Make your own at home (and even avoid messing with a big pot of oil!)

Mapo Tofu is in our top five favourite foods of all time. Our version takes 30 mins - we're excited for you to try it! 

Chili crisp cheese sauce and pepperoni on nachos? Yes please. Best of all, if you're making these for the super bowl, they can be prepared ahead, and thrown together in a couple minutes at half time.

Dan Dan Noodles! Enough said because it's reputation precedes it. Here's our take on the Sichuanese classic. 

This tribute to New York's iconic chopped cheese is so delicious you won’t believe it. Even better, it’s ready in 10 minutes. Treat yourself, make this sandwich.

Charcuterie boards can be whatever you make of them, so this is more of a rundown than a recipe from Kiran, our head chef at Zing. Enjoy!

Leftover Christmas dinner? Skip the sandwiches and make this delicious, smokey white focaccia-pizza (focazza??) instead. 

Winter is here, and we could all use something to warm us up. This curry is delicious, comforting, and best of all, it takes 10 minutes to cook. This will be a staple in your kitchen, guaranteed. It's now a staple in ours! 

Spicy, sour, sweet, sticky, crispy wings. Our take on an Indo-Chinese classic will not disappoint.

Is anything better than freshly baked bread? This recipe is surprisingly easy, and will elevate your sandwich game to a whole new level. The comforting flavours of Focaccia, with a savoury and spicy punch, this won't disappoint.

Fluffy, buttery basmati rice, tempered with perfumed, spicy flavours. Try our spicy take on this South Indian classic. It's not traditional - but it's an absolute banger.

The familiar, comforting flavours of cauliflower cheese, made a little bit more grown up and mature. Delicious, simple meal that ticks all the boxes.
