Notes

We like to serve this flavorful dish over some warm white rice.

The watermelon rind is the white portion of the fruit, and it's totally edible. It's great for everything from pickling to using in soups. It has a pretty mild flavor with a crisp texture, which is why we love it in dishes like this one.
