Here is a pave of melon seasoned with Korean chile threads, (thanks Shola) served with blistered ramps, Chinese sausage and minus 8 vinegar syrup. The dish is light and refreshing, a blend of hot and cold, sweet and salty refreshing and spicy. What I find exciting is the need for opposition in creating balance. This dish looks at many opposing characteristics and uses them to pique and harmonize flavors.
