Viet Ha explores the secrets of one of Vietnam's most treasured exports, soya sauce. The dried soya bean must be firstly roasted. The sticky rice is set on a broad basket, covered with longan leaves and left until it gets mouldy. The sun is a very important factor in deciding the quality of the sauce. The sauce is stired sometimes. Tuong is best served with banh duc (a kind of pan cake made from rice) "No one knows exactly when the first jar of Vietnamese traditional tuong (soya sauce) was made but our family has produced it for four generations," shares 83-year-old Hoang Thi Lu of Cu Da Village in Hanoi's Thanh Oai District, a village made famous for its tuong recipe. Tuong sauce has been a staple condiment for Vietnamese people for centuries. However, with so many other kinds of sauce produced nowadays, tuong is gradually losing its well established place on the dinner table. Still, there are some special dishes such as braised fish or tofu that the likes of mayonnaise and chili sauce just can't complement as well as good old fashioned soya sauce. Made out of soya beans and rice, it is also very rich in protein and good for health. Ban Town, in Hung Yen Province, about 25km from Hanoi, is particularly famous for its good-quality tuong. In the nineteenth century, their special sauce was even chosen to offer to the King. According to local woman Nguyen Thi Minh Quat, owner of one of the best known Vietnamese soya sauce brand names, Minh Quat Tuong, the secret of their good sauce lies in its careful preparation. First of all, Quat says, you have to have the highest quality soya beans. The next ingredient, which is of equal importance, is sticky rice. The rice is soaked for a few hours and then steamed. The rice is then set on a broad basket, covered with longan leaves and left until it gets mouldy (this takes about three to four days). During this time, the soya beans are prepared. The bean is roasted and then soaked in a jar of salty water for seven days in a cool storage area. After that, the rice mould is poured into the soya bean jar. The mixture is then crushed and dried in the sun for two to six months before it is ready to serve. The sun is a very important factor in deciding the quality of the sauce. Therefore, people usually make a new jar from March to August when the sky is clearest. When the sauce is ready, it turns a dark brown colour and has a sweet smell and taste. If people strictly follow the process, a batch of tuong can be preserved from two to three years. For Vietnamese people, tuong is a traditional specialty which is often associated with poor but peaceful life in their homeland. In the past, every family would have a jar of the sauce to eat all year round to accompany almost every meal. This simple sauce has even become a symbol of Viet Nam, as expressed in the the popular poem: Anh di anh nho que nha Nho canh rau muong, nho ca dam tuong Translated as: Wherever I go, I will always feel nostalgic for my home country. I miss the water morning-glory soup, and miss the egg-plants dipped in soya sauce. This also explains why this traditional sauce can now be found in the US, Australia, France and more. In any country, if you can find Vietnamese people, you will be sure to find a bottle of tuong.Forex News | Travel to Vietnam | Tour to Vietnam - Tour Ghep Mien Trung | Tour Trang Mat | Ebook | visit vietnam | Tour Du Lich 30 - 4 va 1 - 5 | How To Weight Loss | how to solve rubik | how to tie a tie | dac san hue | tourism vietnam

Are There Ab Belts That Work?
An ab belt (abdominal belt) is actually an electronic muscle stimulator designed to work out and tone the abdominal muscles without the need for rigorous and strenuous exercise. But what we all want to know is do these ab belts work? They certainly work in the area for which they were originally designed which is for use in the rehabilitation of medical patients, as they were used to prevent muscle wastage by keeping the muscles stimulated and active. However the premise of this medical equipment was quickly adopted by the health and fitness sector as a way of working out muscle without actual exercise. yen sao hitech review dac san hue hue tourism vietnam how to weight loss cute girl hue tourism vietnam dac san xu hue how to solve rubik how to tie a tie giấy dán tường ky nang ban hang tieu luan triet de thi dai hoc luan van ngan hang kinh doanh quoc te luan van thac sy luận văn thạc sỹ ngu phap tieng anh

A destination for waves and sand
Stretching 192km along the coast, the southern province of Binh Thuan boasts great potential for tourism development, especially sea tourism - the most popular in Vietnam. "Paradise" of health resorts On October 24, 1995, a total solar eclipse occurred in Phan Thiet city of Binh Thuan province, attracting hundreds of thousands of domestic and international scientists and visitors. Since that day, the name Binh Thuan has become well established on the tourism map of Vietnam and the world, and October 24 has become the Province's Tourism Day. White and red sand dunes at Phan Thiet's coastal area always attract tourists' attention Regarding Binh Thuan's tourism sector, it is impossible not to mention Mui Ne – Phan Thiet which is considered a paradise for health resorts. The image of Mui Ne with white sand dunes stretching out in the bright tropical sunshine, waves crashing into the calm fishing village, rows of coconut trees and stone steps, has long been familiar to visitors. Mui Ne is also endowed with sand dunes, a magnificent landscape which has become an endless source of inspiration for photographers due to constant wind-driven changes in its appearance. It is also the capital of resorts in Vietnam, with over 100 eco-convalescence centres, resorts and villas, with natural, beautiful sites, modern architecture, a fresh sea environment, sunshine, wind and sand. Rowing is a popular water sport in Binh Thuan Province Binh Thuan province has Phan Thiet Bay which, rather shallow and very windy, is ideal for sea sports such as surfing, sailing and kite surfing. From October to April, when the wind gusts are at their highest, Binh Thuan is besieged by international friends who come to windsurf and kite surf. Kite-surfing Apart from sea related amusement activities, visitors can participate in other unique sports on land, such as conquering the sand dunes, paragliding in the brilliant sunshine, or golfing at Phan Thiet or Sea Link golf courses. With these advantages, every year Mui Ne attracts over two million visitors, including over 220,000 foreign visitors, coming from Russia, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, France, Britain, South Korea, China, Japan, the US, Canada and Mexico. Land of festivals In addition to its sea tourism potential, Binh Thuan also has cultural and festival tourism strength because of its many cultural and architectural works, as well as unique festivals of the Viet, Cham and Hoa ethnic groups. Kate Festival of the Cham people held annually near Po Sah Inu Towers Binh Thuan is home to Po Klong Moh Nai Temple, a typical cultural work of the Cham people, where over 100 precious objects of Cham royalty are preserved, such as the crowns, robes, boots, shoes, rings and bracelets of the kings and queens. It also has Po Sah Inu Towers, dating from the 8th Century, devoted to the Shiva Genie and a sacred set of stone linga and yoni of the Cham people. Binh Thuan also boasts many unique cultural works, such as the oldest lighthouse in Southeast Asia (built in 1899) at Ke Ga Cape, Vietnam's biggest Buddha statue on Ta Cu Mountain, the biggest whale skeleton in Van Thuy Tu Communal House, the most colourful Co Thach stone ground in Tuy Phong District and the relic site of Duc Thanh School, built in 1907 in Phan Thiet City, where President Ho Chi Minh taught before he went abroad to seek ways to save the country. In particular, the project of Binh Thuan Water Tower, a unique architectural work designed by Lao Prince and architect Souphanouvong, was completed in 1934 and is considered a symbol of Phan Thiet City. Lantern procession at Mid-Autumn Festival in Phan Thiet City Apart from a system of tangible heritages, the community of ethnic groups living in Binh Thuan also has a rich system of festivals and rituals, such as Cau Ngu (fish worshipping) Festival of the Kinh ethnic group; Kate Festival of the Brahmin Cham ethnic group; Nghinh Ong Quan Thanh Festival of the Hoa community in Phan Thiet City; and Dinh Thay Thim Festival which bears the specific cultural features of Binh Thuan Province - it is one of few festivals in Southern Vietnam listed in the dictionary of Vietnamese Festivals.
