"The new Spicy Wagyu Beef Dumplings dish includes five 100% Wagyu beef dumplings," shares the restaurant's team.
The dumplings are "wok-tossed" with "a sweet and spicy sauce," one that includes Fly By Jing's Zhong sauce.
Described as "a concoction of aromatic 'fuzhi' soy sauce," Zhong sauce is "... slow-brewed with brown sugar, mushrooms, garlic and a blend of spices influenced by the popular classic Chengdu street snack, Zhong Dumpling."
