Ingredients
1/2 cup unseasoned rice vinegar

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.

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