Steamed glutinous rice is left on trays until a yellow mould covers it, while roasted, ground soybeans soak in water in a jar until they turn sweet. The two are mixed with salt in clay jars and set in the sun for weeks, stirred often, into a thick dipping sauce.

Steamed glutinous rice is left on trays until a yellow mould covers it, while roasted, ground soybeans soak in water in a jar until they turn sweet. The two are mixed with salt in clay jars and set in the sun for weeks, stirred often, into a thick dipping sauce. Made in 3 steps over 24 days – 40 days. The longest step, mix with salt and ferment in the sun, takes 15–30 days (Shurtleff W 1905). Yellow mould on the rice does most of the fermenting.
Tương is made from a glutinous-rice mould mixed with roasted soybeans, not from moulded soybeans alone. It is set in open jars in the sun and eaten without filtering.
Bùi Quang Chiêu gave the earliest detailed description in 1905. A 1981 account says soy tương had disappeared from North Vietnam after about 1950 because of rice and soybean shortages during the war. Bần Yên Nhân elders date the village craft to at least the 17th–18th centuries, though no document confirms it.
