20230525 #breakfastdiary 770, 15°C/partly cloudy 'Its flowers bloom fine, and its fruit is bountiful' — a line from Canto 2 of the Yongbieocheonga (Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven); this really is the season when flowers are lovely and fruit grows abundant. 1. Wash one Korean melon well and peel it with a julienne peeler (the kind used for som tam). 2. Cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, strain the juice, and mix in white balsamic, salt, and pepper to make a dressing. 3. Slice the halved melon neatly, arrange on a plate, and spoon over the dressing from step 2.
