Recipe

Cooking tips

  • For deeper flavor, add the cucumbers to the broth before the watermelon so their cool aroma can fully infuse into the liquid.
  • Since ice melts and dilutes the broth, it’s best to season the broth slightly saltier than usual at the beginning.
  • If you find watermelon seeds unpleasant to chew, remove visible seeds while dicing the fruit for a cleaner eating experience.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to creatively and abundantly use up leftover watermelon in summer.
  • People looking for an easy, no-fire summer dish.
  • Anyone curious about the unique combination of watermelon's sweetness and cucumber's crunch.
