Watermelon Rind Salad (수박 나물), Bibimbab (수박나물 비빔밥)

Hi everyone!

As Hawaii doesn't have any other season than summer, 

watermelon is one of the most favorite fruits of islanders.

Then how about the watermelon rind?

Have you ever considered to eat them?

It's not very popular but Korean do eat watermelon rind.

Which is similar to cucumber and green papaya.

I'd like to share a watermelon rind salad (namul) recipe today.

Get rid of all the red inside too.

Slice them very thin.

When the rind turn to transferent, squeze them well.

Put them in a bowl,
