Pad Cha Clams

📍 New York Thai $$

at Ugly Baby

"Ugly Baby's pad cha clams is the dish that shows what this Thai restaurant is capable of. Stir-fried Manila clams with wild ginger, peppercorns, and plenty of pad cha chili paste — the heat builds and the briny clam flavor is amplified by the aromatics. This is not subtle cooking and it is not meant to be."
