Momofuku Ssäm Bar

Noodle-soup-master Dave Chang has branched out into new starches with the opening of Momofuku Ssäm Bar. At this new, significantly larger space, he offers a simple menu of stuffed flour tortillas, rice bowls and steamed buns. As at Momofuku Noodle Bar, the ingredients are of high quality (Berkshire pork, organic chicken, Greenmarket corn), but the selections are more limited. Tortillas and rice come in three varieties: chicken, pork or shiitake. The stuffed tortillas are a healthy alternative to a burrito laden with sour cream and cheddar - they are crunchy with green soybeans and slaw, and if they're not spicy enough for you, drizzle on some of the Sriracha sauce.

Momofuku Ssäm Bar: 207 Second Ave., (212) 254-3500.
