The watermelon radish has a white-green skin and a beautiful pink color inside. It is quite tough and has a piquant flavor, which can be hard to enjoy on its own. This recipe uses vinegar and sugar to slightly soften the texture and balance the spiciness with some sweetness. It takes only five minutes to put together and another ten minutes to marinate. It works as a fun appetizer by itself and is a great ingredient to add to a salad or on top of some rice.
