Ramps! Asparagus! Fiddlehead Ferns!: Brooklyn’s 8 Best Spring Dishes
Pok Pok Ny’s Fiddlehead Fern Salad: Much like ramps, fiddleheads are a ‘blink and you’ll miss them’ spring delicacy, appearing in greenmarkets and on restaurant menus for a few weeks at most. So zero in on the specials board at Pok Pok Ny, which currently boasts this Northern Thailand-style salad; crunchy, furled ferns coated with tomato chile paste and tossed with peanuts, sesame seeds, fried garlic and ground thua nao khaep — dried, fermented beans.
