Don't let the rind go to waste!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unseasoned rice vinegar

  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 cup cubed peeled watermelon rind, (3/4-in. cubes; see Kitchen tip)

  • 1 tsp gochugaru, (Korean red chili fakes)

Instructions

  • Combine vinegar, sugar and salt in a small saucepan set over medium-high. Boil until sugar is dissolved, about 1 min.

  • Combine watermelon rind and gochugaru in a glass bowl or jar. Pour vinegar mixture overtop. Let cool slightly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hrs, or overnight, before serving.

Kitchen tip

Use a knife to slice off the green watermelon peel before cutting the white rind into pieces.
