Chirba Chirba has been one of the most recognisable Durham food trucks since 2011, built entirely on hand-folded dumplings made with house-ground fillings. The pan-fried pork and chive are the defining order: a crispy-bottomed, tender-topped dumpling with house chilli oil. The truck's following is large enough that it has inspired multiple permanent dumpling counters in the Triangle; Chirba remains the mobile original.
