The Dumpling Shack team has opened a dedicated site to its spicy spin-off fried chicken concept Sichuan Fry (you can still get DS goodies here too). Sichuan Fry, which combines fried chicken and punchy Sichuan flavours, started life as a special menu item at Dumpling Shack in Spitalfields in 2020 before growing into a dedicated pop-up that resulted in two hours queues. Now at its perm home there are three different fried chicken sandwiches on offer – the Sichuan Classic spiced with Sichuan sauce and mala honey sauce; the Soy Garlic, with soy garlic glaze and garlic mayo; and the vegan Crispy Aubergine, with panko aubergine, honey mala sauce, Sichuan sauce & pickled cucumbers – as well as wings and tenders with various spice levels, and shake shake fries with a range of seasonings.
