Tuong is a familiar and long-standing dish in the Northern Delta provinces. Just a few decades ago, when the trade was not as developed as it is now, in every ancient northern village, there was a separate way to make soy sauce, every house was dried and brewed, as a must. have. Now, the image of jars exposed in the middle of the red Bat Trang brick yard is increasingly absent although soy sauce is still being sold in the market and still has its own ‘followers’.
Easy but difficult Soybean ingredients include soybeans, glutinous rice and grain salt. The cooking season usually starts around March to May. Sticky rice is cooked, dried and molded. This stage of making this milestone seems to be easy but very difficult, it must be experienced by the similar workers to calculate how the milestone is reasonable. “Horizontal hand” that goes in makes it easy to damage like playing. Soybeans are roasted in gold and crushed, then soaked with water and salt. The soy sauce maker determines the “lean soy sauce” of the roasted soybean soaking water to calculate the process of pouring mold into soaking. After the mold has been poured in, make sure to make the jars of soy sauce carefully, cover with a ceramic lid. Everyday, open the sun to make the soy sauce ripen. After the drying process is to incubate for very carefully, very tightly. Just incubated like that for about 3 months, it is similar. Soy sauce is a special sauce and has many uses in meals. In the past, ca dao used to enumerate all three “national souls” of the nation in one sentence: “You go, I miss your homeland / Remember the water spinach soup, remember the tomato sauce”. There are many ways to combine soy sauce and water spinach. The simplest is water spinach boiled with soy sauce, vegetable broth brought with crocodile vinegar, and a meal with salt-cured tomato is enough. During the subsidy period, my grandmother used to cook ginger soy sauce morning glory soup. Water spinach washed, crushed. Vegetable cooking water add a little soy sauce and a little salt, crushed ginger root, drop into the water, when the water is boiling, drop water spinach in, vegetables are cooked, then turn off the heat. Water spinach cooked with soy sauce is usually very green, giving it its own flavor. It seems to be a dish of the past, now no one can cook anymore. What about ketchup? Previously, in the countryside, every home had to have a jar of soy sauce, a pot of rice, which are almost 2 indispensable things and look at it to be assured of the time when the seeds are in front. The eggplant here is a bowl of salted eggplant with the whole fruit pressed. During the coffee season, many people buy weights, peel off the nipples skillfully, release each nipple with a pinch of salt, then compress it tightly. Usually salted eggplant takes a month to eat and salty then… draw your tongue. But there is a new salt for long The traditional way of making tomato sauce is that the tomato is soaked in salt for 20-25 days to reduce water, then soaked in a soy sauce jars for a few months. Currently in Tam Hiep, Phuc Tho still has many families producing this specialty. Sometimes sell up to 50 thousand VND / fruit. Specialty of … country Usually, families who want to eat tomato sauce will do it in a very quick way, when the salt is cooked, then tear it into small pieces. Now, there is a way of taking a knife and slicing salt into pieces (in the old days, the tools only tear their hands). no sugar is fine). Just soak for a few hours to make the soy sauce infused. In addition to water spinach and tomato, tofu is also very delicious if combined with soy sauce. Boiled tofu with soy sauce is a very affordable dish for the hot season. Crispy tofu with soy sauce is always the number one dish from generation to generation. During the subsidy period, my grandmother used to store tofu with soy sauce. Braised beans are white beans, not fried, cut into pieces, put in a pot, pour a little soy sauce, add some lard or grease and simmer on the stove, until the soy sauce is evenly adhered to the bean and is dry, then turn off the heat. Braised soybeans are both fatty and plump, eaten with rice very well. Now, when my grandfather has disappeared from the mountain, his family still maintains his old dishes. Once you came to the house and saw me stewed in the old style, you were very surprised because I had never eaten. Also somehow, this dish is less popular on a large scale, or it may also be the “personal initiative” of a housewife. Or maybe it was a dish from the subsidized and difficult times, now the society has developed, people are used to the full of high-quality dishes, so no one remembers. Referring to soy sauce, it is impossible not to mention the presence of this sauce in the stock dishes. The first to mention is the fish stock. Usually fish stocked with soy sauce is river fish, copper fish, mainly tilapia, crayfish, catfish, and carp. Rarely, people choose to store the carp with soy sauce. Crayfish eggs, a little bacon (choose the fatty part), a little ginger sliced to the bottom of the pot, can store with a little star fruit, add a little water to make the fish beautiful. In the past, in many rural areas, rice husks were also cooked, and the way the fish were kept in rice husks made the fish make the bones but it was very fleshy. Talking about it, but forgetting to mention the castings is of course extremely flawed. The cake is made from non-glutinous rice soaked in clear lime water, the rice is ground into powdered water and then brought to the kitchen stirring with peanuts. Peanut molded cake is delicious, not crushed, but soft, flexible, crispy, without sticking to the hand. The molded cake is only suitable for the sauce, add a little fresh chili, eat both stick and cool. Along with the cake mold, there is also goat meat that cannot be delicious without soy sauce.
